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
