I just got the news that my dad's college roomate died yesterday. Bill Finnigan has been an invaluable resource to me on my dad's younger years. He even followed dad during the war, so he was able to tell me things that no one else alive would know. His letters always brightened my day. My dad has been gone for 23 years, but somehow I could imagine him as a young man greeting his friend at heavens door.
In recent years Bill's son Steve and I have become friends. It is amazing to be able to hook up with someone with a past that has similar pieces.
Rest in Peace Bill. You will remain in my heart always.
