I would appreciate it if this message could be forwarded to Alice Spohn. Alice, I am so saddened to hear of Billy's passing. I was doing genealogy research for Spohn and ran across the obituary. He was such a kind man and so engaging; I will miss him. I hope you are doing well. I am still here in Columbus and would welcome seeing or hearing from any of you. Give my love to Carol and Louise. Sincerely, Cousin Barbara Cogan - my email address is [email protected] - my phone is 740 965 2255

I had the good fortune to work with Bill at the Montgomery County Sanitary Engineering Department. He was smart, friendly, cooperative and a great asset to our community. We are sorry to lose a man of his caliber but grateful to have known him and learned from him. He was a great person.
