Where do I start? Bill shared a lot of memories with me, from growing up in Tucson, stealing ice off the ice truck with his friends on hot summer nights, starting up the first band in Bagdad, AZ. His love of music. Meeting his brothers for the first time in Conneaut, OH, being a merchant Marine on a ship in the great lakes, to working at GM. Teaching himself pool and becoming a pool shark, I watched him call the eight ball on the break and make the call, not once but twice. Moving back to Tucson to care for his mom, starting his family and the his painting business. Some of his stories were good and some heart breaking, but his happiest memories were raising his family, going to basketball games, family trips, the water park. He treasured those most and would say he missed those days and wished he could have them back. He was a jokester and a prankster and love scaring the bejeebies out if people. There were times he took the wrong path in life, he regretted those dark days, but they made him into who he was. He did the best that he knew how. He was a good man. I'll hold my memories of him deep in my heart. I'll miss him always.
