I was sorry to learn of his passing. His name caught my eye, but I knew him only as a toddler. I may have even babysat for him. We were neighbors in River Oak´s. Would love to be in touch with Peggy, my cell phone is 757-289 -7941.
My thoughts are with you.

If this is Billy from Larkspur, we had a lot of fun riding motorcycles together on the trails back in the 1970s. I send my sympathy to his mom and family.

I just found out a few minutes that Bill passed away. Although we never met, he was a pleasure to work with. My heart goes out to his mother, he spoke often about her❤
