Donna,
Bill was a great influence on me and my career. He was a great writer who coached and encouraged great writing in those who worked for him.
He was a true and faithful servant who has gone on to his reward.

Dear Donna and Will,
Our deepest sympathy to you on your loss. We enjoyed the times we spent talking with Bill when you lived in Maplewood- Wayne especially, as he has always been very interested in sports.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
