I think Bill might have set a standard that all us should follow...that when we pass someone thinks of us in the same way.

I don't think we will ever get to see guys like that again Bill. Like my grandparents- those from the greatest generation are now all gone. Will we ever be like that again?
Kind, couragous, and tough... they took care of us and America.![]()
They say you are very lucky to have one or two friends, real friends in life. You it appears have been one of the lucky ones to have known such a man that called you a friend.!

It will be up to us to pass on what we learned from the generation Bill belonged to.That generation spawned a bunch of "regular guys" with high values ..
NV,
Great story.
I think you hit it on the head with the idea that these kinds of folks teach us to be better people.
I had a feeling about that when my Mom passed on. I know now that if it weren't for her, my own kids wouldn't be the people they are today.
So, I don't have to tell you that what we do does make a big difference. Nice that you got to share that and thanks for sharing with us.
