I’m sorry to hear of your loss. I haven’t seen Bill since shortly after high school but I have fond memories of him. I remember in gym class we had to run the 660 yard dash. Bill set the pace and nobody came close to catching him. We must remember Bill is clearing the path for someday us to follow.  May he Rest In Peace.
