Love forever

Bill and I worked together at Princeton University. Working with him and socializing was always a pleasant experience. We did not like the same music (I don't understand why everyone doesn't like Doo Wop), but we shared in our sense of pride taking care of the University. Bill was a great friend and exemplary worker. I miss him.
