Dear Mrs. Hurley and family,
I was so saddened to hear about Bill's passing. He was a great man and I have so many good memories of him from all the years we visited. My best memory though, was not during the Christmas season.

For so many years, I thoroughly enjoyed teaching with Bill at WHS. He brought laughter and wit into our lives; but he was also the first to help people when they needed it. When a colleague died unexpectedly, he made certain her children had Christmas; when another lost her place to live, he helped her. For years he was "Santa" for Toys for Tots, albeit a bit of a tall, skinny Santa! He wanted to make a difference, and he did in a very real way to many. I am glad I knew him and I am sad...

Sandy and family,
We have so many wonderful memories of you and Bill back with the 101st Engineers. Bill was always so up and so much an individual. We can not be at the services as we are in Italy, but our prayers are with you.
