unfortunately he had a lot of health issues which led to his death in 1989. He is had two wonderful children Adam Lodge the oldest and grant lodge 3 years younger. he worked at APS as a mechanic well head mechanic most of his adult life. he found out later after high school that his biological father had been a mechanic in Prescott. We dated from the 86 class reunion until 1989. His loss was great sadness to all who loved him.
I remember Bill so well, going back to Madison Meadows, when he was one of those cool boys who rolled up the sleeves on his t-shirt. A truly kind person.
Bill was one of my best friends at Meadows and Central. He had a great sense of humor and it was always fun being around him. I spent the night at his house a couple of times and was invited to go camping with his family one weekend. His parents were really nice people. I remember him rolling up his sleeves on his white T-shirt like Pauline mentioned and Bill always kidded me for smoothing out my shirt in front so all of the wrinkles were in the back, ha! I remember getting a ride home from Central when Bill had a Plymouth(?) convertible with a push-button transmission. That's the only time I'd ever seen that type of transmission. I stopped by Bill's house in 1979 while I was stationed at Fort Huachuca. It was great seeing him again and I met his wife and boys. So sorry to hear of his passing.
Yes Craig, I remember that new car very well! The weekend Bill got that car for his irthday he asked me out to the drive-in. I was so excited as I had a big crush on him. However we were both to shy and did not have a second date until the next summer. The next date was the week after the 20 year reunion! And yes I loved him very much.
