This time of year has me thinking of Bill & his friend, Wayne, out somewhere .. not too far off with a doe deer deke waiting and watching, mostly the latter, but what fun those two guys had!
I also find myself thinking of the Thanksgiving dinners that Bill would describe, real feasts with his bride at the helm and the merryment of the Wise clan all about. Surf tales, fish tails, depicted, 'Buck' tales (Bill's dad), &c. Always warm and fun, frolics from the past & the then present.
Bill had a zeal for life few persons can match .. in my experience, perhaps none. He is fondly missed and remembered. Kind of you to bring it up, thank you Mr. Bill Murphy.
"All good", isn't it! :-)
