I am so sorry to hear the news of Bill's passing. We worked together a few years ago, and I knew him to be a very nice man of great integrity, a gentleman who loved his family, especially his wife whom he spoke of often. My sincere condolences to all who knew and loved Bill. I pray for your peace and comfort.
