I had the pleasure of working with Bill for many years at Pac Bell. He was a wonderful friend with a great sense of humor. Though I only met Tony once, I feel I've known both of you for years through your dad's great stories. He loved sharing tales of you both, and his pride in you was a wonderful gift I'm sure you'll always treasure. Though we lost touch over the years I'll always remember him with a smile.
