Quite by accident I came across this notice of Bill's passing. I always imagined Bill going on for ever. In the 70's I spent quite a bit of time with Bill, his wife and daughter Barbie. He was a good host and friend. He was partly responsible for introducing me to a very special gentleman who he had known since his school days. I will always cherish that introduction. Rest in Peace old friend. Carol Anne Barker - Posted by: Carol Anne Barker (A friend from the 70's) on: Jul 30, 2014
