Bill and I worked together at Arcata Graphics (now Quebecor)50 years at least. He was a wonderful friend and co-worker. When I married Arlene in 1952 he was part of our wedding party. What a great guy! We shared many memories of our days working together and I wish him all God's blessings as he continues his eternal journey.
