I am so sorry for your loss. Bill was such a special person, When I got laid off a couple of years ago Bill bent over backwards helping me get my college assistance going. I completed the degree program and came back to Bristol. It is with his and a few other peoples help that I have made something out of my life. Bill made a very positive impact on this world and he will be deeply missed. The last time I saw him at the office we were out back, him smoking, me chewing and we had a good time talking about family and friends, work and such. He loved his job and his family very much. The world is a little more empty without Bill in it. My heart aches now and forever more. Till we meet again my friend. Michael

I knew Bill from Lee-Norse in Pittsburgh, and when he was with VEC. He was a good friend and a gentleman. He will be missed.
