Rest in peace Bill. You will never be forgotten. I might not be in Boston to say farewell to you but I will be there in spirit. You were a gentle giant and I loved you like the big brother I never had. YOu were a true gentleman and you are leaving behind a legacy as you raised two lovely boys to be gentlemen like yourself who in turn are raising lovely kids who will never forget you. Wee Gus is waiting to thrash you at pool.
