I just found out (2022) about Bill's passing. He taught me to fly in a Cessna 150 at OSU and he was the best instructor I ever had for any subject. I often remember his instruction to this day. I am glad our paths crossed. Condolences to his family and friends - the world needs more people like Bill.

Bill, was a first class pilot and instructor but most importantly, a first class human being. He will be missed, however, his spirit will continue to be with us at KOSU!

Bill will be missed by many people. I have fond memories of learning to fly with Bill. Especially the part where he gets out of the plane and says go do three landings for your first solo without any forewarning. Condolences to all of Bill's family. I will miss his smiling face.

Bill's signature can be found in the logbooks of literally hundreds of aviators in the Central Ohio area. His passion for aviation touched us all. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience Bill!

Bill was a very generous, kind, and gentle teacher to the many aviation students who passed through his aviation program. After I lost my medial certificate, Bill filled the gap with my two sons. Bill will be remembered very fondly by many.
