I worked with Bill for many years at the City of Roanoke sharing Shrimp Pitas from the New Yorker with him. Bill was a good man and I really missed working with him. May the Lord comfort and keep you. Also, may you find peace that even though Bill has left us here on Earth, he will always be alive in our hearts.
