Bill Jr's memory was amazing, even in his childhood days. He was a fan of all sports, especially football and could remember sports dates of events and players dating long ago.
One of his many favorite first cousins was Amy McCardle Rishel. Beavs last words were "I will miss Amy's birthday." May our son now rest in peace.
