Bill Gwatney Tribute

Bill Gwatney was a lifelong friend; he was that once in a lifetime friend, who you could run into after two years and so of being away, each time it was like our last talk was yesterday. Bill and I were born just months apart when we became neighbors and lifelong friends in Jacksonville. Our friendship grew over the years that followed as life seemed to physically separate us as neighbors when my familie's military tour took us to the Middle-East just months after the 6-Day War ended in Israel. Upon our familie's return from that volatile foreign soil, Bill and I often visited with one-another at church and caught up on old times. Bill Gwatney's genuine nature, his equally genuine smile, his spirit of life and his passion for truth and justice in American politics will live with me forever to pass on. Bill and I spoke about 6 months ago by phone from my home in California, when again, our friendship never missed a beat. His far reach of absolute integrity will never be forgotten and has encouraged me to push forward with the same. Our best to all your family.
