BANGUS ONLINE - Duke Crossing — A 37 year-old Duke Crossing man died doing what he loved. William Hayes was an outgoing man according to friends and family and some people that hardly knew him. A neighbour, who asked not to be identified told Bangus that “as far as dying goes, William died doing what he loved.” William’s fiancée, Sheila Dryfuss holds a recent picture of William.
“Well, he’s gone now, but at least he died doing what he loved. How many of us can really say that?” It’s a question that cannot be easily answered as you would be required to die doing what you loved in order to be qualified to answer it.
So how did William Hayes die? Just what was it that William Hayes loved so damn much? It seems that William Hayes loved holding up liquor stores. Responding to a silent alarm in the west end, police confronted a heavily armed Hayes. Shots were fired. It did not end well for William Hayes who apparently died doing what he loved. “Oh, my beautiful William, he sure loved jacking liquor stores,” Sheila told Bangus Online.
