Shocked to hear the news. Bing was a special friend and we were so close in high school. My four years away in the service let our friendship slip a bit but we never lost contact. We were always "going to" get together. He will be missed.

Bing was one of the kindest young men I knew and became a fine man, a loving husband, and caring father. My heart to Tenzie and all his family and friends.
