Very saddened with Bill's passing. He worked for my father at Reading Tire Co., as did I, back in the 1960's. He was a very fine man that I enjoyed being around. Great spirit and lots of fun. Memories of him will be with me until it's my turn to take the eternal rest.
My sympathy is with all of you in his family.
