I am so sorry to read this.  I didn't know Bill, but I knew his family.  These folks have been through far too much pain, and to lose Bill at such a young age only adds one more travesty.  The Smithwicks are good people.  They are to be respected and loved.  We should give them support in any way possible.  God bless them.
