Bill,without a doubt, was one of the finest gentleman that I have ever known. I had an association with Bill over 40 years and he was a sincere delight to work together with. He never failed to be of assistance when needed. There was no equal in his laboratory ability and my patients were the benefactor of his unique knowledge. He will never be replaced. Rest in peace, Bill, you certainly deserved it. I have lost a wonderful friend here in this life.
