My condolences to Carol & Bill's sons Billy & Radar & grandson. A friend & former neighbor in the Ridgelawn area Bill will be missed. From our Little League days Bill would occasionally remind me that I hit him once with a pitch, but I always said it wasn't intentional Bill. R.I.P. Buddy.

Bill was such a wonderful person. He always had something good to say about others. When I lost my brother Bruce, Bill made an effort to reach out to me. He would share stories about their times together. He never missed an opportunity to say hello when we would run into each other. He was a man who cared. Offering my sympathy to his family. He was a good man and will be missed.
