Bill,

I will always remember you for hiring me and giving me a break when no one else would do so back in 1979. I'm still working at the same job. Your wisdom and instruction still guides me today.

I was so sad to hear about Bill, but at the same time, glad that he didn't suffer any longer.

I'm very happy to have known and worked with such a nice man all of these years at Arlington on the Ponds. He will be deeply missed from the Board.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family,

Carolyn

Dad, Like your own dad - who passed away close to 40 years ago and remains an inspiration and guiding light to his adult grandchildren - you too, Dad will be forever lovingly remembered.

You were one of a kind. I am so grateful that you were my dad.
