Bill my friend, I just got back from a long trip and called your number but got a bizarre message, I called your office and left a message but no one called me back. My spirit told me something, that the altimate has happened while I was traveling. Now I saw you were long gone while I was on my journey, what a world? May God keep your spirit in his presence for ever more.

Always such a joy to see Bill at the Alliance Française functions. He delighted us with tales of his trips, and was always ready for a joke and some laughter. My deepest sympathies to Ann and family.
