Shadra, I don't know if you remember me but we sat by each other at KU basketball games back in the early 80s (with my ex husband Lonny Rose). I have thought of you all often and was saddened to hear about Bill's passing. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Fondly, Pat (Rose) Bates

I fondly remember Bill and his family from our early days in Lawrence,Ks; it was my honor to care for Bill and his family. I also enjoyed the times we played tennis.
