I have many fond memories of you, my friend. I remember meeting you at the Japan Open in 1985 where your great Japanese skills motivated me to learn the language. I remember you finding me my first job in Japan at a new school in Saitama. You followed up with finding me my 2nd job when I grew tired of teaching English. And your help with discounted Ektelon racquetball gear was so greatly appreciated when I was young and on a limited budget. And then there was the 1998 NFL season where we got to do color commentary on PerfecTV - a great season for two Vikings fans to be commentating on football games. Anyway, Bill - I want to thank you for your friendship. You left us too early. I pray that your family and friends will find comfort despite the great loss.
