I recognize his face from the TA and remember seeing him having a blast at games. Very few people are saluted as a GREAT employee, and I have no doubt that in this case it was well deserved. Aloha, Bill.

Prayers for those left behind.

I didn't know him, either, but he was Timbers Army. He leaves behind countless brothers and sisters in green and gold across this city. Rest in peace, brother.

Sorry we didn't get the chance to meet in this lifetime. Goodspeed you to the next.

I did not know Bill, but noticed in his obit that he was a GREAT employee. That statement brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful tribute. When you go to work you have to be there no matter how you are feeling on any given day, so knew that he must have been a special person. Condolences to friends, family and co-workers.
