Dana and Family,
I learned of Bill's passing today and I am saddened by it.
Alutiiq is one of our Government Contractors and I always looked forward to doing business with him and his people. He was a very nice person and "always had the answer".
You and your family are in my prayers. May God Bless you!

I was saddened to receive word from Michelle of the passing of Mr. Bill. I had no idea he was sick. It was always so nice to see him walking around the neighborhood and to catch up every now and then. He was always so caring and interested in everyone's life and I was always amazed at how 10 years could pass and he still remembered my name as if we had spoken daily. I am sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you.
