[Go For Broke]

ALCON,

Just got the green light from his son to post (Names have been removed for OPSEC, those that knew Bill personally can fill it in ...)

Hello everyone,
This is Bill's son, XXX. It's been one year since I got on XXX to let you all know that he had lost his long, valiant fight with prostate cancer. It's hard to believe that it's been a year, because it seems like just yesterday he was here doing work on the house, running, reading books, talking about his Army days, and passing on all his wisdom.
Well, I thought I'd give everyone an update on how the family is doing a year later.
My mom, XXX, is still staying strong. She's spent a lot of time volunteering at XXX School here in XXX, where XXX and I attend. She's looking at getting back into dental hygiene. She remains very active in church, and she has been doing extremely well at adapting to all the change this past year.
XXX, my little brother, is getting ready to finish up sixth grade. He's making A Honor Roll at school, just finished his second year of playing basketball, and is looking forward to joining the Youth group at church this summer. This past year he also played on the middle school soccer team and really enjoyed it!
I'm a senior in high school right now. I am really looking forward to graduation, but I'm looking forward even more so to 1 July, which is the day I report for Beast Barracks at the United States Military Academy at West Point. I've wanted to go to West Point since I was eight years old, and Dad did everything he could to help me get ready and apply. I know he would be more than proud.
Finally, I'd like to thank everyone for all their prayers and support over the last year. We are extremely thankful for every one of you, and we would like for all of you to continue to keep Dad's memory alive in the coming years. God bless.

Sounds like Bill raised a good son (as if there was ever a question.)

Very Respectfully,

[tim180a]

Bill was a good soldier and a fun person to be around. I concur that he has a son to be proud of...
