Bill's death has really stunned me -- but I can't imagine how deep your grief is, Karen. I'm in Texas now so I won't be at the funeral. My family's prayers are copious for you and yours right now. Thank you both for your influence in my life going back to G-Choir.

I had the privilege of standing directly next to Bill as a member of the Eagan Mens Chorus. He had a beautiful, rich singing voice and often sang solos for the chorus.
He was a good friend who will be missed greatly. It has been a blessing knowing him.
