Dear Margaret I regret to hear that Bill has passed away. I do not know anything about the last few years of his life, except that he was not able to attend any functions with you. Give my condolences to your family. I will not be able to attend the funeral as I just got home from St. B. hospital on July 31st after a 3 week stay. I was diagnosed with Krohn's disease and am on a slow recovery path. I hope your health is good. Thinking about and wish you the best under these circumstances.
