Bill was like a second father to me as I spent a great deal of my younger years at their home. He was always a kind man who seemed very in touch with the younger set and was always the first to give someone a break. He will be sadly missed. - Posted by: Marleen (Suderman) Burgess (Family) on: Aug 07, 2005
