Bill was the first person I met in the Marines. We served together for the entire 4 year hitch. He was known as Spanky and that was what we always called him. We’d have kept in touch since we got out. He was my closest friend and a real brother to me. The hole in my heart will never heal.
Semper fi my friend til we meet again
Bill was a true and wonderful friend. If you were honored to be his friend you was his friend for life. I graduated with Bill and enjoyed talking with him everytime we ran into each other at the store when he came to Lebanon. Prayers for his family!
I am very sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was a colleague of mine and always brought a smile to my face. He found great pleasure in showing off his tattoos, which branded their fair share of clowns. He knew I was not a fan of clowns and he would pull up his sleeve or leave a picture here and there, just to mess with me and we would both have a good laugh. Sending thoughts and prayers to his family as you deal with this tremendous loss.
Sorry for the loss, share your memories ,prayers for y’all
