Dick;
So sorry to see that your brother Bill passed away. Still remember the days when you guys lived on the hospital grounds. He was a fun guy to be around. Maybe I will run into you at the store.
I liked bill. We used to talk about old music over coffee. RIP buddy
I was thinking just now when we spent several hours talking about music. I was amazed with Bill’s knowledge of the performers and bands. He will be missed
Bill was one of a kind. I never knew someone who had such a knowledge about music. Then, add on history! Our lives crisscrossed one another in several ways. His wit was contagious, as was he. They just don’t make them like this anymore. Peace, Bill…and thanks.
Bill took me to the Senior High School Graduation Dance. He was. True gentleman. Although we did not spend a lot of time together, I enjoyed his company at the dance.
I attended KU for three years and then graduated form Boston University.
So sorry for your loss.
