Al and I had so many memories and great times remember when he married Linda and after wedding we toilet papered their entire apartment pretty funny but I don’t think they thought so I believe his sister Helen helped us too sending to wounded warrior God bless him and his wife and family
There are so many memories of Bill. Our crazy fun times in Merchantville High. Our trips down “a Shore” to Wildwood and Sea Isle City. Our marathon pinnacle games at Linda and Bill’s house. Saving Kristen from the ghosts at 1AM. Can’t forget the dances in Maple Shade.
Love you, my friend,
Harry
I met Bill in the 70’s when he was married to Linda, Kristen’s mother and I was dating Harry. My memories are countless nights playing pinnacle until the wee hours of the morning. A couple more memories are Bill using the food money to buy horse’s meat instead of beef from the butcher. It didn’t take long to find out this was not a bargain. Another was a trip to Long Beach Island. The ocean was churning that day. We were all in the water when a wave knocked me over and my bathing suit bottom fell down to my ankles. Bill didn’t hesitate to pull me up along with the bathing suit. It saved an embarrassing moment.
I have wonderful memories of both Linda and Bill raising their beautiful daughter, Kristen.
Thank you Bill for all the fun times and until we meet again, Rest in Peace.
