My deepest sympathies, along with thoughts and prayers, are with you at this difficult time. I worked with Bill and Dona for many years at NUS Corporation. I have many fond memories of my time working with them both. I am proud to have called Bill a coworker and friend. He had such a good sense of humor and was always pleasant to talk to. In fact, I talked with him just last year on the telephone after many years of not being in touch with him.

I knew Bill at Halliburton NUS. He was a great guy, always helpful and down-to-earth friendly. When I was a new employee, he took the time to explain to me the nuances of our company's financial statements. He was not obligated to help me but did so anyway. What I learned from Bill about finance and accounting has stayed with me to this day. R.I.P. Mr. Addenbrook! My sincere condolences to the family.
