I was Bill's waitress in Cripple Creek for the 6 years I worked up there. I also waited on Rose Mary until she passed. You will be missed Bill.

We spent many days going to Cripple Creek talking about our military careers and of course our poker strategy for the day. And then the laughs on the way home of how bad our luck was and we were not going up there any more. Well the next day there we were again. Bill may you rest in peace. I enjoyed knowing you.
