I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of Bill. I remember growing up with Jason Green and going over to his house with Bill and his wife Gail being there. Bill was always such a a nice guy to me and was always a great man. He always was there to crack a good joke too to make us laugh. He will be truly missed. I'll will be keeping your family in my prayers.
