John William (Bill) McVetta and I were like brothers growing up in Mt. Cory as next door playmates, and teammates during the 40s and 50s. We were close for many years but the demands of our different careers and living a distance apart had limited our friendship to occasional phone calls and notes. But I cherish our friendship and the good times, laughs, and adventures it added to my life. My most sincere condolences to brother Bob, and sons Bryan, Ryan, and Nick and your families. Rest in peace, my friend.
