So sad to hear of Bill’s death. We go back to the 1960s when Bill and I were on the 3-time Rhode Island State Champions swimming team at LaSalle Academy. Following graduation, Bill and I spent our formative years playing golf at Metacomet Country Club. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
The news of Bill’s death saddened me. Our lives came together years ago and memories of Bill make me smile through the tears. My sympathies to his family and those who love him. R.I.P. Bill💔
