Dear Alex, Bert, and Lexi,
Bill was one of my first visitors in Tampa when I arrived at USAA in 1996. As another Marine, we had instant rapport--especially when we learned we had both commanded the same rifle company in Vietnam. He shared a story that he had kept to himself for years and it made our bond even stronger. Like you, I will miss him deeply. He was a devoted husband and father, friend, and a fighting Marine. He embodied our motto,
Semper Fidelis!
