We will continue to pray for the family. Sincerely

My condolences for your loss. As a scientist for GLERL, I worked with Bill on the Shenehon many times over the years, even before he became captain. He was always very helpful and did what he could to get the job done. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
With sympathy,

Thank you Katy & Haleigh & Billy & Donna for your many touches into our lives. As Bill touched so many so do you guys. And your continued touches will be so valued.

I am so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. Though, as only an occasional guest scientist on the Shenehon, I had not seen Bill for a while, I don't think I'll ever forget him. He was a pleasure to work with - competent and seemingly always in good humor, no matter what the crisis. Just a great guy who will be missed. My deepest condolences.

We cannot express how deeply touched we are by the tremendous support provided by our Pastor, family. friends, neighbors, co-workers and countless others Each entry here and card sent have provided each of us a sense of peace and comfort.
