Bill Hosley R.I.P.

 Bill Hosley was a friend at Eastman Kokak for many years.  One day while lunching with him and other friends, I finally got the nerve to tell them I had separated from my wife and moved into an apartment.  Bill thought for a moment and then said, “My wife Cynthia plays tennis with a young woman who just separated from her husband.  Would you like to come over for dinner and meet her?”  I thanked him and said I wasn’t ready to meet anyone.


After four lonely weeks, I told Bill I was ready to meet Cynthia’s friend.  I was sitting in their living room when Cynthia brought Aloma in and introduced her.  Within six weeks we were dating and have been together for 45 years.  


Aloma and I often wonder where we would be today if Bill and Cynthia hadn’t introduced us.  We regularly thank God for both of them.


Cynthia died a couple of years ago.  Bill died on September 26 at the age of 96.


Bill, Rest in Peace.


Seasoned Man
