Bill and I go way back to childhood.  My cousin Ed Mathew was Bill's first cousin and we played together with the Corossett family a lot.  In fact a Bill and I ended up in Mercy hospital in the 3rd grade, him with his tongsels  was removed and my Appendix, we shared a room and of course family visits...Bill never met a stranger and was at not our 50th but the one before that...he was full of life and will be missed by his family.
