Bill is a retired pediatric cardiologist. When he was younger, his hobby was sailing. He used to sail in the Long Island Sound and off the coast of Massachusetts.

His parents purchased a custom-made sailboat for him when he was younger. He and his wife enjoyed the sport as well with their own boat for many years. Bill was a part of the racing one-design class.

Knowing his love for sailing, Debra contacted the Lake Pueblo Sailing Club. A boat owner there agreed to take Dr. P. and his lady friend, Harriet W.(who also lives at StoneCreek of Flying Horse), on a sailboat ride on Wednesday, August 17 from the South Shore Marina in Lake Pueblo. The name of the boat is the Decadence.

Dr. P. turned 95 years old in early September.

“This is something that StoneCreek of Flying Horse calls a Miracle Moment,” adds Debra. “Something on your bucket list that you would like to do one more time. We are in the business of making happy memories.”
