I met Bill in 1977 and we enjoyed a lasting friendship. Bill had wonderful trademark. He was always ready to help. I thought the following poem describes Bill's journey Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what's to be, A resting place along the road, To sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way, We are all meant to learn some things, But never meant to stay... Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know, For some the journey's quicker, For some the journey's slow. But when the journey finally ends, We'll claim a great reward, And find an everlasting peace, Together with the Lord.

I went to school with Bill at Bishop Byrne High. Bill was a very nice guy, kinda shy and quiet. I will keep you in my prayers that you will get through this sad time with Gods help.
