My father, brother and I miss Bill dearly. We frequently ate supper together and talked about politics, the stock market and good old times. My father, Noel, worked with Bill for all of his 33 years at Madison Metro and was his friend.
As I have gotten to know Bill better in the last 2 years, he joked with us about how Norwegians like us have impacted society. Every time I hear a Norwegian joke I will think of Bill, even though his jokes were the best.
