When this time of year came around, I started to think about Bill and how much fun we had over at Mitchel hunting Sage Rats. There are very few things I have done in my life that have given me such great memories of a wonderful friend and great time together. I miss him dearly. RIP my friend.

I spent a lot of time with Bill in Central Oregon, shooting and enjoying life. He was on of the greatest guys I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace my friend.
