Having worked and "played" alongside Bill, it saddens me to hear of his passing. Bill was one of those guys who always had a kind word for all. His talents were never fully recognized. He was a trooper. I will remember him in my prayers. We spent time and##imported-begin##Al Caldwell##imported-end##
