I am so sorry to hear of Billy's death... We called him that at North Adams State College. And I regret hearing of his death only today, for I dearly wish I could have attended the services for him. He was a fun companion during our college days and a fine friend.
I remember sitting in a classroom for parents years ago, listening to him explain what his students (our children) would be doing that year. Later I went up to speak with him. I said "Billy, it's so strange to be here sitting in your classroom as a parent to one of your students!" To which he replied, "You think it's strange! How do you think I feel?" And we both laughed. My daughter was blessed to have had him as a teacher that year.
May God comfort you and give you the strength and courage to face each day.
