Bill and I were good friends in High school I lived right around the corner and we loved muscle cars. I have fond memories hanging out working on his Chevelle and driving way to fast. He will be missed I hope his son and family is doing well.

I have known Bill for 35 years. He was like a brother and we fought and made up like brothers and sisters do. I will always miss him and so will Carol who was his companion and partner for the last two years of his life and who took care of him until the very end. I will miss you, brother. And I love you.
