I am so saddened to hear about my dear friend Bill's passing. Bill and Anne lived across the street from us for a decade and we became great friends because we both played drums and loved beer. Bill use to say "I've never met a beer I didn't like." Bill was the kindest person I have ever met. Bill and I spent hundreds of hours together laughing and having so much fun. He loved rides in my 37 Buick. Bill and I loved doing Saturday afternoon jazz at the Lancaster house and he played drums right up till New Years Eve. He was a long standing respected local musician. He just loved playing the drums. My fond memories of Bill will be with me forever. He definitely left his mark as a very caring and thoughtful person. My most sincerest sympathies to his wife Pat and family.
