My condolences to Mary and family, I found Bill to be a real gentleman and a thoroughly nice person, as were his uncles. I pre-trained his race horses years ago, at Patumahoe on the uncles farm, Sun Affair, Sun County, and a couple of others. I remember him taking his three young daughters to brownies in Patumahoe, he was so proud of them. RIP.
