When i think of Bill, the first word that comes to mind is "ornery"... i don't think i have ever met a man who was so tenacious in his efforts to tease you to the verge of murderous thoughts... then he would chuckle... and you would know you had been had... but his heart was enormous, generous to a fault...(unless you were a republican...) i speak of his metaphysical heart... Kent, ivy, Leah, and Dawson... He has suffered for a long time... he has been released from this... we all hope and pray he is in a better place now... He will not be forgotten...
