To Bill's family,
I knew Bill from his Inter-Ocean and Cincinnati Financial association. He was always a pleasure to be around and I still recall his enthusiasm for so much that is mentioned in the obituary. Another of our colleagues contacted me about his passing. We were a "clan' of sorts way back when. So sorry to learn of your loss and I extend my deepest sympathy.
