Cathy –
I was so sorry to hear the news about Bill. I remember fondly the times at GTE and those early days at Starcom in Uganda. Bill was a gutsy guy who grabbed hold of some amazing opportunities. Those of us who jumped into the fray with him were never the same after having worked with him. Bob in Uganda also asked me to pass on his sincere condolences to you and the family. God bless you and your girls in this difficult time.

Sorry we got the news of his passing late. Mr. O'Brien was a strong, cheerful and inspiring leader.
I did not know he was a veteran, but it explains alot about the man. I thank the Lord for the time he spent with us in Uganda under the STARCOM umbrella. My condolences to his family. May the God rest his soul in eternal peace.
