Great memories of duckpin bowling with Bill in the basement of the Elks Club. Gave us a chance to catch up after so many years of absence. Club was across the street from my Presto Print store…. perhaps 1996/7.
Yes, the family reunion in your backyard (30?? years ago) was a fun time.
Must have been 30-40 of us! Always a Wiley, outspoken and quick-witted.
He’ll be missed. My prayers are with you.
