saysI only knew Bill through Karaoke. He was always a very pleasant man even though I’m sure sometimes he didn’t feel well. I enjoyed hearing him sing and he was always complimentary of all others who sang. Last Wednesday night at our favorite karaoke hangout he was recognized and a good friend of his, Lori Johnson, sang a song in his honor. He will be missed!!
