When I first meet Bill and Wynn I was single. He always call Wynn BabeI love the way he said Babe. And hope that one day I would. find someone to call me Babe. But what what I learned over our many years of friendship. It not how he said Babe it was how he loved his family. So lucky to share so many laughs and fun times with Bill and Wynn. My prayers are with the family
