We were stunned and terribly saddened to learn of Bill's death.
He was such a wonderful person. Brilliant, fabulous sense of humor, and, we know, a loving husband, father and son.
Although we didn't get to see one another frequently enough, our friendship always maintained itself through the years as if time had not passed since college. We will miss him dearly. Our sincere condolences.
