Hi Carole,
Just heard that Bill had passed away. What's funny is I had read his Obit in the Chronicle and thought he sounded like a great guy. My brother is called Uncle Billy and thought it was nice this guy was too. THEN when heard "your" Bill had passed away I looked it up. So sorry for your loss-- you two had many great times together and he will be missed by everyone who knew him. Especially YOU and his family. hope to see you soon. Sandy
