We offer our deepest sympathy to you Luanne and your family. My brother Christian and I spent many hours at the OAMTA events conversing with Bill. We moved from Illinois to Springfield in 1989. We started Critical Care Transport in 2000 in Columbus Ohio. We met Bill a few years later. He was always tickled that we were from Springfield, and would always share a good story from Springfield´s past when we met. Bill always had a smile for us and a handshake, he has always been one of the most professional and important mentors in our career. We will miss him and will always have much love and a warm place in our hearts. Thank you for sharing Bill with us over the many years.
