“I first remember Bill at Shaver Lake in 1955 when I would take my ski and walk to Ronnie Kings where the “big boys” were skiing. They would always give me a pull! I saw Billy “kiting” on the lake and was terrified he flew over the outside of the dam...Such great times. Bill was a great guy always w a smile. Ben and I will miss his visits. Thinking of you Nancy and the boys🙏🏼🌷”
