I am sorry I never met Bill. In working on my family tree on Ancestry I discovered that Bill's father, Jesse, and my grandmother, Emma Hammerman Weinheimer, were siblings. I am sorry for your family's loss. Your distant cousin, Leigh Weinheimer Kostis

Very sad to hear of Bill's passing. He was always throwing out one liners as he was shaking salt into his beer. Post 4789 will miss him.
