Wow. I feel like a jerk for not knowing he passed.
Years ago, I used to see Bill all the time at Corner Pocket in Joliet, Il. He was always telling stories of days past and was always up for a game of one pocket, straight pool, or banks.
I liked Bill and his son Ray played on our APA team that went to Vegas in 97. Both of them were salt of the earth people.
I remember that Bill LOVED the game of pool, but couldnt play for extended periods of time due to back problems, so we'd sit and talk and I'd listen to his stories.
I won't claim to be his best buddy, or a good friend, but I did know him and see him often and enjoyed his company at the pool hall.
RIP Bill....sorry I'm so late
