My Friend Bill...

When I got into the office today, I learned the terrible news that my friend Bill had passed away over the weekend.
Bill worked next to me in the commercial and blue print- print shop. He was a very plesant man, always smiling. He would come over and tell me funny jokes, he would borrow my white out pen, and leave me printer cartrages to send back to be refilled. He would always try to scare me into spilling my coffee and would always have a smile and a wave for me.
On Friday, August 15th, I saw Bill for the last time. I gave him a wave as he left the office. On the way to his car, he collasped and suffered a heart attack, and passed away later in the evening.
Bill was an awesome musician. He was a founding member of the John Ford Highland Bagpipe Band and was pipe major since its inception in 1969. At Christmas he would get all decked out and play in the office, gleefully scaring all of those who were not prepared for the bag pipes.
I have to come out and say this, I wish Bills last day in life was not spent at the office. This makes me think of many things, and even though he loved it here, I wish it could have been something more...It really makes you think...
I will miss you Bill Sandbach! Until next time....
