Bill was my cousin. We grew up together camping, fishing, riding motorcycles and just being boys. As our careers progressed we were fortunate to be able to share lunch in downtown Charlotte. Bill never lost his smile and quiet strength. He was always patient and kind. His Christian love for others never wavered. I know that God has a special spot in heaven for Bill and ii. I will join him there one day.
