My car’s battery died today and no one to help me. I was walking out to go to my Dear Friend Bill memorial and the car did not start! OMG I wanted to tell him good-bye for now. So I missed it.
Bill never bragged about him self. We worked at PC’ Limited in the R&D Lab. He was a brilliant Engineer!
He always carried a big smile all of the time. I never saw him mad. God blessed this mam with a talent you would not believe. He will be missed. I remember he was so excited when he met Rhonda he was struck by lighting. He was even more happier. RIP Bill. Austin Texas has lost a Great Musician, Bill walked the streets of Austin as like other famous musicians. I close my eyes and still hear Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Johnson. Peace full spirit he was, Would give you his last dollar, Go out of his way to lend a helping hand.
I pray that Rhonda finds peace in her heart. She is a great spirit too. Now Bill will be her Angel. He is sitting on a cloud singing Rhonda a Love song from Heaven. Good Bye Bill Asta’ La Vista Amigo Mio
