From Bob Starr

I was one of the first to hear about Bill's passing, hearing on March 11.

Bill was one of the very first people I met when I moved to California from Buffalo, NY. He taught me the "ins and outs" of the wrestling game.

I could never repay him for his friendship and teachings.

He was a great man with an undying spirit. A giving man, always helping others in one way or another.

Bill, I will miss you.

I will personally make sure that the love for this great sport will never die.

Through you and your help, many men now enjoy the great sport of wrestling in one form or another.

Thanks for being a big part of my life......

THE CRIPPLER......
