I will miss seeing Bill at the gym, he was always there when I was, always talked to me even if he was on the treadmill- he would pause it for 2 minutes walk 3 seconds and pause again just so he wouldn´t loose the time or miles walked! We would talk about anything and everything- but most of all he always had a smile on his face! I will miss seeing him, his contagious laugh, the jokes he told me (usually about politics), and some of the advice/ wisdom he shared in conversation! Prayers for his family, that you all may find peace and comfort over time.
