Bill was a very good friend to my brother Jim McGlinn who lived near him in Tafton.
Whenever I'd visit Jim, the three of us would always go out to dinner at least once during my stay, if not more often.
Bill also became friendly with my son, Eric Strobel, while Eric was caring for Jim during his fatal bout with lung cancer in 2007. Bill would visit them every day while Eric had Jim home in the Poconos. He was a big help to both Eric and Jim.
Bill played a big part in organizing two memorial services for Jim at the Tafton Fire Co. in June, 2008. One was on the water and one was at the fire house. Our family appreciated all Bill's time and effort on these. He was a big help to me through this project and helped to keep me on an even keel as I tried to work on arrangements over long distance.
When I think of him, I remember his smile first.
God bless your family.
I will miss Bill. So will Eric.
