I met Bill Cole in Chicago in 1984 and have maintained a strong friendship with him since that time. I know that I am not alone in recognizing the profound influence Bill had on my life. My condolences to his family and friends.

Sorry to hear of Dr. Cole's passing. I worked for him at Chicago State University in the early 70's and he was always a gentleman. God bless him.
