Linda, We are so very sorry for your loss. I first met Bill while walking Tucker. In those days Bill and I both walked quite far with the babies, and we always ran into each other. He was such a sweet, funny man. You know how much we both like to talk so we talked a lot. Not too long after that Bill would walk by our yard which is fenced, and Joe and I would be sitting out there, and we always invited him to sit with us with your two babies. We always enjoyed him so much. We had many enjoyable evenings on our patio with Bill. Eventually we had dinner with Bill and You, and we have enjoyed a friendship ever since then. This photo is the one that reminds me of Bill. He will be missed but I prefer to think he is free now from his suffering.
