Bill Sinkule wrote a sympathy message

“I wish to send my sympathy and condolences to Nancy, and the friends and family of Payson. I met him a long time ago at Bruin Lake Boy Scout Camp. We were in Junior Leaders training together, in the same patrol. I never forgot him and by a special turn of events I met his siter Julie. He had grown into a great leader and with a great family. I haven't seen or talked to him in a long time. I wish I had reached out to tell a friend I missed him. I send my many prayers and kind wishes.”
