I knew both Nancy and Bill. Bill and I were a couple during several years of college and later when he went to law school and then into the military in Germany. I have a collection of letters from him while serving in the military.If he has a child or grandchildren who would be interested in having them, I guess someone could contact me through this funeral site? He had a great sense of humor and was an exceedingly handsome man at the time I knew him. I was living in San Francisco and he came here to live near me. The relationship didn’t survive and I knew he had returned to Indiana and had married and had a son. I am sorry to hear that both he and his sister are deceased. My sister who was a close friend of Nancy’s is actually living in Noblesville at the moment. I remember Arnold and Dorothy very well. They were always kind to me.
