Stopping by the desk for a chat was always the best... Bill always had a quick smile and a witty line or two to lift my spirits. He shared his love for his family, job and life with those he came in contact with. He will be greatly missed.

We worked together Friday night and I stopped at the desk to talk as usual. I wanted to tell you something and could not remember what it was. I told you I would be back if I remembered. You said you would be there when I did. I won't have that chance to tell you what a great guy you were, a good dad and husband. You were so proud of your girls and talked about them with such pride. They are lucky to have you as a dad. You watched over us at St. Teresa's each day like we were your family. I will miss your jokes or the times you tried to be stern with us and it never worked. I will forever miss you my friend.
