I played in my first band with Bill, and my first live performance was with him as well in 1967. A kind, gentle soul and a wonderful human being to be around. I will miss him dearly.....

Six years wasn't long enough. I will love you forever.

Bill, always had a smile on his face and playing his guitar. The weekend softball games were one of my best memories of Bill and  always trying to  fine a field to play on. 

Growing up and our weekly softball games with all the kids.  Bill always playing music and even played at one of our high school dances at Bell-Jeff.
