I worked with Bill at Bathe Electric and he in turn worked for me when I opened my own electrical business. Bill was a top notch wireman and an even better friend. We lost touch when I was reactivated for Operation Dessert Shield/Desert Storm in late 1990. I never knew where he actually lived and couldn't locate him after I came back. Now that I am older and miss those "good 'ol days", I would certainly enjoy spending time with him. I'm more than a day late and dollar short. If anyone knows how I might be able to get in touch with his daughter please advise. I'd like to let her know how good a person he was.

My thoughts go out to Bill's family. Bill was always a treat to come across on the ham bands, and I talked with him many times over the years.

Bill was a loyal 6 meter scatter operator, and I worked him almost every morning over a 750 mile path. He always had a great signal and an upbeat personality. 73 my friend, Lee KZ4RR
