I am shocked to hear of Bill’s passing. I met Bill when we were first graders at Franklin Twp. Consolidated School, Cashtown, PA. We were bus buddies throughout our twelve years of school. Bill was a quiet, shy one in school. Sandy, I am sending prayers to you, Bill’s mother and your whole family. We all have memories of those closest to us and those we’ve known for years. Those memories will be with you the rest of your life. I lost track of Bill many years ago but have some fun memories of bus rides (particularly our bus driver, Mr. Diehl) and the many classmates who hung out with Bill. God bless you and your family.
