My sincere condolences to the family. Bill was my mentor at Woodfun, showing great patience and his skill as a very talented craftsman. He was a good friend to me when my father passed away several years ago, and my kids loved being at the shop with us. He had a wonderful sense of humor. He will be missed, and will be in our family prayers.
