You and Howard were two of the first people I met when I moved to Spokane in 1978. I have many fond memories of rides with the Gamblers, and time spent with you. It's hard to think of you not being here anymore, but I'm sure you and Howard are keeping things interesting in Heaven. RIP Uncle Bill, you are greatly missed! ❤ ❤
