    Bill and I have been friends and members of the Bushkill Valley Motorcycle Club of Easton for around 40 years. I shall miss his smiling face and friendly manner. My condolences to his family, especially Bob and Bill. I know he has been suffering but fighting back for years. May he rest in peace.
