Bill was an outstanding salesman with great perspective. I served as a systems engineer and we worked together for a couple of years for IBM clients in Northeastern Ohio. This often included impromptu fishing stops along the way. We were productive and funny at the same time. I never could get him to pronounce "oil" correctly! Bill, Mary Ann and their family were always a joy to be around.

Bill was a salesman with me in the Louisville IBM office and later he worked for me as a senior salesman in the IBM Cincinnati office.
He was an outstanding salesman, a great family man, and all around good guy.
R.I.P. Bill.
