  • SORRY for your loss PAT, Lori Nikki and Jamie. I was so happy to know Bill from 1974 when we drove bus. Bill was so kind to everyone he met and I remember that he would start buses for people in winter any one that knew Bill had a friend that's the kind of person he was, and if anyone needed help Bill was always willing. I will miss him. Go in peace and till we meet again in heaven. I will remember the stories he told bout fishing and hunting, and the moose or deer that got away. I'll miss you. Your friend always, John. - Posted by: John Pirrie (friend) on: Mar 03, 2012
