Jill and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Bill at TASD for many years. I was a vendor for TASD and Bill when he was Operations Manager. Bill was man's man, and I say this with great pleasure. Bill could be blunt and direct, but you knew where he stood. He made you earn it with him, but once you proved it, you established his trust, and dare I say, even his friendship. I am happy to call him my friend.
He always spoke very highly of you, Jill. I recall many of the conversations regarding your parents and their residence in Marco Island. It must be nice to know you were always in his thoughts, even when speaking to a vendor from Chicago.
I will miss Bill. I hope you are at peace knowing he is in a better place and once again able to work with his hands and help others.
