I was thinking of Bill and did a search to find this news too many years later. To his family I am another of his fans who took great pleasure in spending time and working with Bill. A fine man and good partner. Clearly missed by many. Rest well Bill.

Dear Susan,

I worked for Bill for several years at First Chicago. He was supportive and he was always willing to listen and consider an opposing point of view. And he was proud of his family - and of being a "Double Domer" as well! My heartfelt thoughts are with you during this time. I am so sorry,
