It is with profound sadness that I heard of Bill's passing. My second trial as an ADA was Bill's first as a starting attorney obligated to represent an indigent defendant.

Heaven truly gained an Angel. Bill was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Always a smile on his face and always made me feel welcome. I will miss his stories about the places he’s been and can only imagine what he’d have to say about this last adventure. I am so grateful to have met him and will always remember his kind ways and his sincere smile.

Janet, I'm so sorry to hear about William. He has been a great friend of a long time. I'll always remember his big smile, little chuckle and his story telling. I'll always cherish our New Years and Blue Ridge trips we all had together. He was a good man and we will all miss him.
