We worked as Research Statisticians at the DOT HWY Planning Branch. We checked out the restaurants downtown for lunch. We also sat together with our friends at the UH football games at the old Aloha Stadium. It was fun tailgating and sneaking beer into the Stadium. Bill was a lot of fun. I miss him.

I was very sorry to hear that Bill had passed away. He was such a big, strong guy. I worked with Bill at the Highways Planning Office, as statisticians. We sat together at the University of Hawaii football games at Aloha Stadium. He was a good guy and we had a lot of fun in the office and at the football games. I went to his wedding at the M Ranch House in Anna Hanna.

Could somebody please call me and tell me why he died so young.
