To all his respected partners, mentors, and friends, Bill sends his warmest thank you for the meals, memories, stories, and time shared.

He is now with his mother, grandma, brother, and best friend, who had all moved on before him. He wanted to give a final thank you and best wishes for those he could not reach near the end.
