I made sure his son got the news. I would love to hear from Bill’s brother that is a nurse.

Please know that I have thought of Bill often. I consider him a first cousin, since Aunt Doris and Uncle Robert raised him. I have great memories of staying at their house as a child. I remember watching Bill with his friends skate on the concrete Uncle Robert had poured for them. I am sad to find out that Bill has left this world so soon. God Bless you for loving Bill.
