I can’t express how Bill made my father feel happy and young.I will always remember Bill for that and how we talked about Cleveland sports. Dad and Bill will surely be singing those songs like college kids. I will miss him and hope the best for family and friends.
I did not know you, but you are my Uncle.
I was Edward James Pierce’s daughter…..my siblings and I were all taken away and adopted out. But, I found Jarome. My “dad” passed away before I could find him.
My name was Honey Lynn Pierce.
