I grew up with William, Jackie and their other brother. Jackie was more my age but they were all like a brother to me. I was so excited when he and Pam started dating and when I heard they got married I was more excited. Lost touch when everyone moved away from Hamlin area and thanks for good 'ol Facebook we found each other again. I know he and most of our crew (James, Royce and others) are having a ball in Heaven. RIP William and see you one of these days.
