So sorry to hear of Bill' passing; but we all know he is dancing on streets of gold. Bill and I went through school together and he was always willing to share the LORD with those that would listen; even at a young age. He was a good friend and class mate. May God' s strength be yours during this sorrowful time. My Condolences, Madeline Rodriguez-Cortez.
