My condolences to the family. I worked with Bill at Dys for 10-12 years. He was a wonderful person and he was definitely loved by everyone.

Ann, Dean, Linda and Al,
My deepest sympathy.
Bill was such a good person. A person that would do anything for you when you needed a hand...An endless sense of humor....
All arms and legs on the court. Urgent Care was usually required at some point, if you got too close!
His mom and Cliff will be glad to see him...
