    What I remember most about Bill was his basketball prowess. Any man who owns three dogs must be a very special person. I hope there are dogs in Heaven. May the God of Heaven provide His mercy and grace to the family.

    I remember Bill well. We had many classes together in high school. My condolences to all his family and friends. It is so hard to lose someone you love. God bless and give comfort to all of you.

    It was quite a shock to hear about Bill. We were in 1st and 2nd grade together and played for Chuck in Little League on the Rifles. He even came over from Lycoming for a couple of Penn State games where we got together. It was always a joy to see him at class reunions. A fond memory of Bill was when our great basketball team played at Shaler and Bill cold cocked their biggest player and then ran up into the Stowe section of the stands for protection. Well, it worked. Bill was always thinking ahead. We will miss you,
