If anyone corresponded with Bill often and would like to send a card to his wife or sister please send me a e-mail to grwint@comcast.net . Bill was my cousin, our mothers were Messick sisters. I can get you the address, but do not want to post it totally public. His wife is in Ga., away from any family and his sister is the last in her immediate  family, both parents and siblings now gone. So, if your inclined it would probably comfort them to know folks care. I also want to thank Shari for the post and those who expressed their sympathy, on behalf of the family.
