Hello, Helen,
I am so sorry to learn of Bill's passing. It appears it was a "short illness," which is a blessing.
I don't have to tell you what a great guy Bill was. Bill always had time to help a young fella out and give sound advice. There were many people in the Print shop that I worked with and they all had the highest regard for Bill.
It sure was fun running into you guys in Edinburgh so long ago.
Peace,
Dick

When I worked in the Sales Promotion Department of Connecticut General, Bill saved my neck on many occasions in getting material printed on time (actually a rush) he wryly smiled everytime I showed up knowing once more he had to save my bacon and he did. A great guy who will be missed by many.
