Dear William, It is many years since I saw you last. However I will never forget the night at a seniors dance (at Joeys) when you told me to stay with you and your friends, as the guy I was dancing with was "not the nice kind". You really protected me and I have never forgotten it. I will always miss your smile and jovial nature. You made a difference in people's lives.
William and I went to Cranbrook Junior School together. It was a long time ago and I confess that my memory of him is unclear as we did not keep in touch. What is acute though is my heartfelt sadness at losing a boyhood friend. My sincerest condolences to your Family and God bless you William. Your friend, Venceslao.
