Bill was a highschool classmate of mine in the class of 1950 in New Salem, North Dakota. He was smart, funny and hard working. After school he worked for the grocer so he did not participate in extra curricular activities. He came to class reunions and was always congenial. The 14 remaining classmates will share your bereavement and hold him in happy memories.

Bill was very instrumental in mentoring me in the beginning of my career. He always supported me and helped further my career early on. He assisted me in becoming a better insurance person and better person overall. My condolences to his family at this difficult time.
