I worked in the research area with Billy at dupont for 20 years and the whole time he always approached his work and life with a smile on his face and a kind word for his fellow workers. We will miss Billy. I will look forward to seeing him again.......

Since my arrival at the Spruance plant 15 years ago, "Billy" was always a joy to greet and have a short chat with. I missed him after he retired. No matter what his problems were, he was always cheerful. Heaven and earth surely have a need for people like Bill. I'm grateful for having made his acquaintance . May the peace of the Lord be with him and his family.

I am truly saddened by the passing of Bill, my sincere thoughts and prayers are with his family. I worked with him for thirty years at duPont. He was such a likeable person and I always enjoyed his humor.

Gail and Mary,

We too are so sorry for your loss. Bill was a wonderful man with the world's most joyful laugh. I remember growing up, our families spent so many great times together and Bill's laugh always filled the house. He will certainly be missed by all. Our family has you both in our thoughts and prayers.

Love you,

Scottie

Billy and I were hired to work at DuPont on the same day. In later years, Billy would always remind me of this on our service anniversary day. He was easy to talk to and I enjoyed my conversations with him. I know he will be missed and my condolences to his family.

I have known Billy over 30 years at DuPont. And I had the privilege to work with him in research for over 16 years. I will miss his smile and the wonderfull way he always laughed.

I worked with Bill for some time while I was in Research at DuPont. I will remember his approachable demeanor, desire to do his job well, and the many personal conversations that we had. It always lifted my day to talk and work with him. My condolences on your loss.

I was very sad to here of Billy's passing. Billy worked for me in Research for several years. Never knew anyone who enjoyed coming to work as much as he did. He never complained although he had a lot he could have complained about with his health. Bill was so easy to work and be around. It was truly my treat to have known and worked with him.
