While the miles and distance have kept us from daily communications, I am saddened to learn of the untimely death of a friend I have known for nearly 60 years. As a fellow classmate of the DAHS class of 1963, we continued our friendship through our adult years. I relocated to Florida some 36 years ago, but, whenever I visited DuBois, or if Bill came to Daytona Beach, somehow, someway, our paths always seemed to cross, and we would enjoy a brief visit, and reminisce about the days of our youth, and the people we knew. Please know your late father, grandfather, son, and brother was without a doubt one of the most unique individuals I have ever known. I shall miss him, and my prayers are with you all
