Bill was a good man and far more than a legendary tv wx personality to me. We returned from Vietnam around the same time and a year or so later found ourselves working together at wkda am/fm, Bill as a newsman, me as a lowly fm air personality on the then fledgling wkda-fm. While working with Bill and after he joined the channel 4 staff I enjoyed the pleasure of being paired with Bill in numerous charity bass tournaments for a number of causes and considered myself lucky to be in his boat because not only was Bill an avid angler, but he knew where the honey holes were. So, if we didn't win we always came close. Bill has been missed by many TV viewers for years and since his retirement I have often thought about him and hoped he was enjoying his retirement and hitting' those secret honey holes on area lakes as often as he wanted to. Now, I will not have to wonder if Bill is happy because I knew him as a true believer and I know if there are lakes in heaven he's probably asking Jesus to get the net because he has another one on the line. My sincere condolences to his wonderful loving family.
