Sharon, I am so very sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. God be with you!
Sharon my thoughts and prayer are with you and your family. Sorry to hear about Bill’s passing. May God give you strength as you grieve .
The first time I met Bill — and his brother Gary — was in Kings Mountain back around 1949-1950. We stayed in Grandfather (Dr.) William D. Laswell’s big home, with my step-grandmother, Lucille Young Laswell. I remember Bill, Gary and I going down to the railroad tracks and engaging in a little boy-ish mischief.
