Dear Ann,

I am so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. He was my first boss at Western Electric when I started in 1978, He made my job fun and I have so many good memories of Bill. He loved talking/bragging about his family and was so proud of all of you. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Ann
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Bill. He was one of the first people I met at Western Electric, and he was a wonderful role model and friend over the years. I feel privileged to have been among his "painting buddies". You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. God be with you.

Dear Ann, I can't tell you how much Bill and you both have meant to me and the arts organizations to which he has belonged! He made it possible for the SPS to meet at the arts center where we have met for at least 18 years now and he was a valued member of all the art groups in which he participated. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Mikki
