Rememberance by Mike Shuman

Billy was a long time friend from childhood on. As an adult he had quite a few health problems. I remember visiting him once when he was being treated for Hepatitis.

Billy passed away on 24 January 1991 of cancer. He is buried next to his parents in the Tallmadge Cemetery.

Bill is no longer with us. He can't update him own page so if you have other memories or recollections about him that you wish to share, please email them to
