Our deepest sympathy to the Chiarella Family. I worked with Bill at Branson Ultrasonics and found him to be both professional and helpful. He had the ability to take technical information and explain it in easy to understand terms. And, it was a pleasure to meet him again over the past year - still the same good guy!!
