Barbara and girls, so sorry to read about Bills passing. Bill used to call in on a regularly and see David when David was so ill. David would light up when Bill arrived as they would talk about their favorite subject .....cars! David just loved those visits. After David passed away Bill used to pop in for 5 minutes to see if I was ok then off he would go . I hope the two of them have met up again and continued what they left off.
