I think Danny Cole was the only classmate I can remember who passed away before Bill. I remember walking to Rees Funeral Home for the service. I think Bill had an uncle or some relative who was a pastor and did the service. I believe it was the summer after 9th grade when Bill drowned in Kentucky Lake. That 9th grade school year Bill had a paper route and had the unfortunate experience of being on his route and seeing a car running in a park with no one around. He went to investigate and found the driver had committed suicide by gunshot to the head. I recall Bill telling me about it and was very disturbed for an extended time afterward. Bill has been on our 'In Memory' page for quit some time. I apologize for not posting some words sooner regarding him. Life is brief. I am glad I knew Bill.
