When he worked at Klemman’s Lumber, Bill was very helpful to my late father in the 1960s when our family was converting a summer cottage into a year-round home in the Times-Union tract. When he needed anything at Klemman’s, I recall my Dad saying he always counted on Bill as his “go-to” guy. Again, you’re all in my thoughts and prayers in the time ahead.
