I was Bill's supervisor for a time when he worked at the Logistic Systems Support Activity.
He was a pleasure to work with. He was soft spoken, friendly, and meticulous in his computer analyses, design and development. He was well respected by his peers.
My sympathy goes out to his family, relatives, and friends.
