Bill and I were friends at Lomond. He was always a really interesting and fun guy and we had a lot of good times together at his house and ours. It's really sad to hear of his passing.
I didn't know Bill very well in high school. But,he used to stop in our store ( Draeger's ) with his family. We would have enjoyable conversations. He was a warm, friendly, spiritual and caring person with a great smile!
