I miss Bill even though we lost touch when he moved to Florida. We played rugby together at Lincoln Park Rugby in Chicago. He was a great friend, great player, and my inspiration to play better. We will always remember you Bill.

Bill was great guy and a highly regarding teammate on the Lincoln Park Rugby Football Club in Chicago, Illinois. He was a true and good friend, and his character was above reproach. We lost touch after he moved to Florida, but he was never forgotten.
To my friend, I say "cheers, mate and godspeed" on this journey.
To his family, please accept my deepest and heartfelt condolences.
