Such a wonderful and kind soul. I will always remember his smile which he shared every time I saw him! While growing up and hanging at the Demo's I was never old enough to drink his wine but I remember oh so well the stories about when my mom, your mom, Edith Pepera and Bev Thompson would get together at your house to make candy or cookies or whatever and it always seemed to involve getting into "Bill's Wine"! Those stories were always good for a great laugh! Hugs and prayers to all of you.
