Bill was one of my dearest friends, I have so many great memories thanks to Bill, Amy, Mike and Christopher (Topher). My life is truly better because of times we spent together. I will miss him dearly, he never had a mean thing to say about anybody and always made me laugh. He may be gone but will never be forgotten. He was the brother I never had. Sure loved that guy.
