I was saddened to see that Bill had passed on. I remember him well as he was part of a group of friends I was surrounded with in late middle to earlier high school years. Bill was a couple of years older than myself and he used to drive me to PHS I guess it was when he was a senior. He was good guy and from reading the post he had found happiness with his family, and success being a business owner. It was a privilege to have known and been friends with you. RIP
