It is always hard to put up the classmates to our website. This time extra hard there was one one April 18 and one of April 19. RIP Bill.

I remember Bill as a gentle giant, quiet big guy with a great smile. We went to Fairview together but didn't connect much after that. I think he played center on the football team.

Bill was a neighbor as well as a classmate. Someone mentioned gentle giant and that was a true comment. Always enjoyed being around Bill.

So sorry to here of Bill's passing. He was a neighbor on 23rd Ave. We went to Fairview School, Keith Jr. H. S. and AHS together. I too would agree with Phil that Bill was a gentle giant. Condolences to the family.
