RIP Bill. You were a good man. I valued our conversations at the pantry about your health and the work you were doing there. Grateful for the time I had working with you.
My condolences.
Sharon,
Colleen and I express our condolences on your and your families loss.
We will miss Bill.
Bill and I have been friends since grade school & high school. We even joined the Navy together serving on the aircraft carrier USA Intrepid with two tours to Viet Nam. Bill was a great friend and will be missed by many. Goodbye old buddy, may you rest in peace.
Did Bill grow up on Fairview Ave in South St Louis and possibly attend Kennard grade school? If so, I lived two doors up the street from him and we played together daily. Please let me know if this is the same Bill Klug.
Yes this is the same Bill Klug that lived on Fairview. Did you go to Kennard Grade school also? What high school did you go to? I looked for you in the Kennard yearbook & I did not find you.
