As you all probably know, Bill and I lived across the street from each other on 2nd Avenue in Ontario from the 6th grade until TVCC. We were virtually inseparable during all those years. There were many wonderful travels made by us. I started to detail them here, but it began turning into a midsized novel, so out of kindness to you readers, I'll keep this a bit shorter. Upon reading of Bill's passing, I, surprisingly, did not shed a tear. But the world now seems a lot more empty now, and I'll miss him for the rest of my days.
I'll leave the start of my novel below:
He accomanpied me and my family on at least one vacation to Yellowstone. I accompanied him, his mother and younger brother to a trip to Salem to visit her parents in Salem during which we snuck away to the coast for our (at least my) first view of the Pacific Ocean. One summer he and I worked together on my aunt and uncle's ranch in Halfway, OR, as well as hoeing and picking cantelopes and watermelon in Hermiston, OR. We went on the senior sneak together with Mike Smith. Then after we graduated from high school, we took off in our 1929 Ford Model A to get another glimpse of the Pacific. It was raining, and the top on the Model A leaked, so we headed south. Right before we got to the California border, we saw cars lined up at a fruit/vegetable inspection station, and since we had a case of beer that some kind soul had bought for us, we turned around and spent the night at a campground in Brookings, OR. We met a couple of girls while walking on the beach that evening. Bill had worked at the Catholic Hospital in Ontario, and the nuns had given him a couple of tickets to the Worlds Fair in Seattle, WA. Since we were headed south with no intentions of going to the fair, we gave them to the girls who were on their way to the fair with their parents. So, after drinking the beer that night, Bill had an awful hangover and .....
Happy early birthday, and thank you for your recent helpful words...
A couple of my fondest memories of my youth one of which was us in HS football, you trying to hit my ass on long passes of which we could always connect in practice, but never in a game. Another is the time I intruded on you and your wife at what was then EOC in LaGrande. Despite your hospitality, I rudely left your abode on a mission to reach my next assignment in the Army at Ft. Meade, MD. I made it to Ft. Meade, after a slight detour in the Baker City law enforcement facilities - aka da jail. Happy Birthday, Tom. And say hello to you wife for me ....
Happy Birthday, Dian ...
My sincere condolences to Juanita's family and friends. I have always thought highly of Juanita even though I didn't know her very well. She probably wouldn't even remember who I was, but she had a presence that always impressed me. She will be missed.
Happy Birthday, you old fart!
I would like to add my condolences and prayers to all the other OHS friends that offered good will and blessings to Larry's family and loved ones...
Happy Birthday!! I hope all is well with you and yours. Haven't seen you at the reunions in years! If you would like to share a ride with us the next time, we would be happy to oblige...

Happy early Birthday!! Wow, you're old...
Apologies for being late with birthday wishes. I didn't realize that you we that much younger than the rest of us. Are you the youngest in our class? I guess I could scan the roster to find out, but I am too lazy...

Well, I lied - I wrote this day on my calendar so I would remember to wish you a happy birthday!

Happy early birthday, Rita! Man, you are old - three days older than me...

Early happy birthday, Jan. The reason I'm responding early is that in a week, I'll undoubtedly forget your birthday - let alone whatever any other day it may be....
