William CAPRISE Obituary

CAPRISE - William, born December 6, 1951, passed on June 18, 2012. He joined his two fathers and many beloved friends in Heaven on Monday. After having fought a three-year illness and hospitalization, Bill left many amazed with his tenacity to live. "Electric" Bill as he was affectionately known was a ring leader to adventure and fun times. Always with a story to tell or a helping hand to lend, he touched many in his time. Bill leaves behind many family and friends and the hope that they will organize and gather for one more "burn" at his home fire pit. DTBA
