My heart filled sympathy to all of the Coleman family members.
I am very sorry to hear that Bill had passed away.
I had hoped that we would have been able to see each other again by our 30th class reunion last year. I was unaware of Bill's where abouts until now, or I would have contacted him myself.
He was a good friend during our years at Lawton.
Again, my condolences to all of his family.
