Robert do you question his age. In 2009 when he died he would have been 66 and 72 in 2015. Was his obituary just posted?

Bill and I first became both neighbors and schoolmates in Garden Park before both families moved to Highland Park. We both stood on Sandra Moss front porch teasing a neighbor boy called George (remember Georgie kissing all the girls).
The only time I remember being with Bill was when we double dated for a prom. I later dated the girl he took.
There was a plane crash in Iowa that killed the Big Bopper, Richey Valens and some others. Bill was interested in the plane and wrote requesting information. He received a package filled with records, signed photos, other memorabilia along with the plane information.

Sorry, I missed the 2009 part.

Sorry for the confusion, I was attempting to locate some obituaries for some of our classmates and found Bill's and posted it yesterday. I forgot to turn off the indicator to send out a notice to all classmates. Bill passed away back in 2009.

OMG. I forgot about George. Memories of Garden Park are fuzzy. Do your remember Patty Brown. She lived accross the street and down one house from me. I think she was a year younger than us. And of cours Dennis Nelson. I remember the little store, I think it was called Old Man Cramers. Spent a lot of time in there. Since my mother was crippled, I went to the store a lot. And Margaret Pressler. Lived next door to me on the south. Wonder what happened to all those mentioned? It was a good time in my life.
