It is with sadness that I learned of Bill's passing. However, it is with pleasure that I remember him and his family. I knew him since the 1940's when his father lived on 50th street across from the Weichselbaums. Also, I remember Kehoe Tire Co. on Drayton. Finally, the many years of contact with Bill and Salie will remain with me.
