Spider always amazed me. He seemed able to fix, repair, and mend almost anything. When we use to work at York Mold, Spider and I designed and built a lot of different projects and equipment that are still probably being used. The work that he did always looked great when he was finished with it. At home, he took a small ordinary go-cart and made it look like a miniature Model-T roadster. I also remember that he took an old rusty Cub Cadet tractor and fixed it up. He made that tractor look better than than it did when it was new. Spider also helped me fix my own riding mower when I broke the hood on it. When I got the tractor hood back, it looked like it had never been broken. Spider also seemed to be a never ending source of humorous stories and jokes. After work, we would stop at the local pub for a beer, and it seemed like he had a different tall tale for every day of the year. Spider was always good at making me laugh. Shawn, I hope that you will forgive me for keeping him out late after work.

These are just a few of the great memories that I have of Bill. To write them all would fill up a book. I will always remember Bill Little as a great friend, and I will sincerely miss him.

My deepest sympathy to his family,
