    Bill was a very dear and close friend (like a brother) whom I will surely miss. We talked weekly on the phone and were in the process of my visit to spend some time together. My sincerest condolences to his wife, Sally and the rest of his family. Memories never die, and are to be held forever. RIP My Friend
