Bill was my brother in law, he married my sister Lucia. Through trials and tribulations, we became friends. We both serviced in Vietnam, he was a combat veteran and on his return from Vietnam he had a bit of challenge adjusting, but we made it through, some better than others. We both loved his daughters, his grand and great grandchildren. We both loved my sister. On my last visit with him at the VA, about a week before he died, he asked me to take him outside. We struggled to get him in his chair, but once in there he takes off, leaving behind. I chased after him and as soon as he got to the smoking area, he lit up his cigarette, he was happy. God bless you Bill, may we meet again.
