Our deepest sympathy to Meredith and Kendall. We are so sorry for the pain you and Bill have gone through. We are upset that we did not hear about Bill's passing until today and could not be with you to celebrate his life. You are in the thoughts and hearts of all of Bill's former associates here at Air Ideal. We will miss his unflappable optimism and his never-give-up spirit. He was a great guy and a loyal company man. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to work, laugh and enjoy life with him.

I remember Billy coming over to play with my brothers after we got home from Sacred Heart School. I also remember his family when I was their paper boy back in the 60's. Really great family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
