I met Bill through a mutual friend over 30 years ago. He and I became very close over the past few years. We both were sports addicts. I could always get all the local sports information in Garland and the Dallas area. He would tell me about all the players and coaches (past and present). This past year we would talk almost every afternoon about the day and the weeks sports events. He was extremely knowledgeable about them all. Bill was never shy about telling you how he felt about a team or player...always the coach. He helped me through some of my toughest times while I was recovering from several serious health issues. For that, me and my family will be forever grateful.
Bill, I will deeply miss you and our daily talks. But I know you're up there on the left side of that driving range hitting balls. -Mark Wientjes and family.
