Bill was the finest person I have ever known. He knew how to bring out the best in others. He excelled as a Chamber executive because he was a talented, seasoned business professional who shaped the Chamber to be leading business institution, not a non-profit. He had vision, passion and empathy. He created magic for the community when it needed it the most. And he did it all with love and class.

Bill excelled at giving credit and glory to others, but make no mistake--he often put Greater Miami on his shoulders and carried it forward. Much of what Miami is today is directly because of Bill's dedication, vision, kindness, and love for Greater Miami. He was one of a kind.

Cheryl, we were saddened to see of the loss of both of your parents so close together. I still remember meeting you at tennis with Marshall and realizing there was a Westminster connection with Doug´s brother. Prayers at this time of loss.
