I enjoyed working with Bill at IELC. After I got laid off at WSU, Bill was very kind to me, helping me figure out where I might want to work next, introducing me to someone who worked in Corrections in case that work appealed to me. This is kindness I will always remember.
Thomas family, I am very sorry for your loss.

Rest William, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.
