It was a very memorable day when I first talked to William on the phone. It was even more wonderful when I got to meet him and his sister and family on visits to Stonewall. What did I think of my cousin? I loved him. He was intelligent, kind, thoughtful, community minded, fun and so easy to talk to. He shared so many moments in his life with me and I'll never forget the day of his 104th birthday party and his joy of seeing the young members of his family. Rest in peace cousin. - Posted by: Judy Teague (Cousin) on: Aug 22, 2017
