To Dorothy and the Near Clan,
My thoughts are with each of you. May your memories comfort you. Bill was a dear friend of everyone that had the opportunity to know him. I feel my life was blessed because I had that opportunity. He loved life and truly enjoyed every minute. He was a great salesman and host, but most of all a proud father. His boys and their families were ever close to his heart. Although we talked by phone, the last time I saw Bill was two years ago at another dear friend's funeral. Bill will have a special place in my heart, next to Terry's.

Good bye, old friend. We shared many years in the water heater industry. We are the poorer without you.

Bill was a good friend and a great salesman. I spent a lot of hours and days with Bill calling on customers. We shared a lot of good meals and bottles of wine. I have missed him for the last few years and was saddened to hear of his death. My sincere regrets go to his family.
