Gwyn & family,
I was so sorry to see this entry in the newspaper today. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Bill at The Hartford. He was an incredibly kind person and I especially enjoyed 'catching up' with him & Gwyn at '80s reunion' for The Hartford a few years ago.
I remember that Bill talked very lovingly of his family always and everyone knew that they were the light of his life. May you all find comfort and peace and God's strength to get you through this very difficult time. God bless you all.

I worked with Bill for several years at Hartford. I am now retired, so didn't hear of his passing until I read it in the paper. I am so sorry for your loss. Bill was a wonderful person and co worker. He loved his family very much and was always talking about them.. I know how difficult this must be for all of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you
