Amy and I are still in shock over Bill’s passing. We always think we have more time. I consider myself a cousin to Bill and spent many a fine Summer vacation in Ohio with all our cousins back when we were whippersnappers. I feel glad that we began getting back together for Autumn reunions at Tommy’s in Scio , Ohio which is the last time I got to share memories and belly laughs with Bill. He was a lot like his dad from looks to sense of humor although Jane could hold her own in the funny bone category too. I will remember Bill fondly and offer our heartfelt condolences to his loved ones particularly Angala and Zach.
