Bill and I met in September 1959 when we started college together at Harris Junior College. After Harris we transferred to the University of Missouri at Rolla and became members of the same Fraternity. We have remained friends for 65 years and had lunch together about two months ago with other Fraternity Brothers. I am very lucky and fortunate to have had Bill as one of best friends for 65 years. I will miss his friendship very much.
Sorry for your loss.
