Bill was one of my favorite patients at our facility. He woke up with a smile, and his friendliness and optimism saw me through the day. Bill was a very interesting man who loved to share his stories of his many endeavors throughout his 85 years on this earth. He is greatly missed and has left me with wonderful memories.
