Farewell well Bill, gone but not forgotten!!
A great friendship both in and out of ARMY, We court up a few times over the years, Bill was a great mate!
Even though there was sometimes years between catch ups, once you got together with him it was like you had only seen him last week.
Although it is a sad occasion today I would like share two stories about Bill from our long friendship!!
Bill always had this quirky Smile and it was always hard to know if he was happy, or he was scheming something / had just set you up for something in return for something you done to him.
Two things that stick out of the number of stories I could tell you about Bill are as follows:
The first one was when we both in the ARMY, we were about do a fitness run test and Bill and I were having a quick smoke before the run. When a young Lieutenant had a go at me and Bill, with words to a effect of “I better see you two put in a good effort, I will be watching you both”. Well at about the 2km mark of the run, we past the young Lieutenant, bent over dry reaching, and at the same I hear Bill yell out “you two better put in a good effort, I will be watching you both” I laugh and nearly stumble as I could here young Lieutenant yelling at us in between his dry reaches.
To say the rest of the day went well for us, would be a understatement!
The second one was years later after I had returned to Adelaide and Bill came from Perth to work for a steel company in Adelaide, and was staying with me while looking for a place to rent.
We have had a big night involving Alcohol and Show rides, on returning to my house early hours of the morning. I realized that I had lost my house keys, with no lights we manage to get the laundry window open and as Bill was smaller ands fitter than me. He jumped thought the window into the dark, after I assured him there was nothing on the floor. As he jumped and I heard the crash I remembered the plastic mop bucket full of water on the floor. Even with the large amount of alcohol we had consumed Bill did not fined it as funny as I did, and did not let me in until I stopped laughing. We then had another drink and laugh, before calling it a night.
RIP Mate!!
