My parents were great friends with Bill & Nina Durkin. We actually arrived in Italy together in 1973 and shared a car to Aviano from the Venice airport, I can remember little Michael, and then going to the local Italian hospital for the new babies. I’m very sorry for your loss, Bill was very kind to all of us. He loved people and enjoyed entertaining friends. Blessings. Rick Kendle
