My wife and I got to meet Bill through his being my Father in Law's (Jesse Pilcher) roommate at the Crossings. He was really a nice man and every time we saw him he would always great us with his very warm smile and firm hand shake. When we left the nursing home after our visits to go back to North Carolina we new Jesse had a good friend in Bill. Although Bill was Army and Jesse was Navy this made for a nice common bound for them both being vets. Our deepest sympathies to Bill's family.

Please accept my sincerest condolences. My little black cocker spaniel and I visited Bill each month up until recently. He just loved her and she loved him. His face just lit up when he saw us walking down the hall to visit him. He was a wonderful gentleman and we are so proud to have had him our lives. What a blessing!
