Sorry to learn of Billy's passing. We were in Greenville High together and lived in the same neighborhood. He was a very pleasant and kind person and will be missed.
I was surprised to learn that his Mother is still living
as I often saw her outside sweeping and taking care of things. My sympathy to the family and his mother. May he rest in peace!

Dear Will and Family,
Ellen and I want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers in the wake of your father's death. I noticed a reporting of it in The State newspaper a day or two ago. I mentioned it to John Ramsey on Saturday when he and Laina and the ir son were at our house on Lake Murray dropping off two coupon cards that their son was selling to support Chapin athletics.
It doesn't' seem.possible that I have been retired from the University for nearly 11 years. I will always cherish those moments that I, as faculty advisor, spent with you and other members of Rho Omega Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity.
Sincerely,
Kenneth E. "Ken" Peters, Ph.D.
