My CONDOLENCES to Bill's family and friends.  Bill you continue to be missed.  In a way your soul is still alive.  We can't get over you departing this earth.  You walked thirteen miles, sometimes and we would see you walking by and sometimes stopping to chat for a few minutes.  I knew you had got plantar fasciitis and disappeared for a few weeks, but I got to chat with you afterwards and just thought you were being affected by your foot.  Days turned into weeks and months until I decided to check online and found the SAD story of you obituary.  I found a few phone numbers, but no answer, then I found your address and your sons address.  I went to your sons address and chatted with you daughter in law for a few minutes.  She said, that they thought you had gotten heat stroke, but she did not mention what the cause of your death was.  I know you went hiking in Kern, County, but am still in shock as to what happened to you.  I think that it was a hot summer day and you either got a stroke or heart attack for lack of drinking water.  Whatever the reason of your death, we miss you!  

Miss getting your point of view from a republican and whether your support for DJT would have changed by now.

Hope your first wife and the children you had with her are coping with the tragedy of death. May your grand kids get over the loss of grandpa, 

I know you missed the death of your second wife and missed her a lot.  Now in a way you are with her, but death is never the same as being on earth,  God Bless YOU, your family and loved ones.

Luis E.

P.S.  Luis, Antelmo, Margarito, and Tony also miss you.  And I'm sure a lot of walkers and runners must say, "where is the man with the cotton ball hair"
