William Gates

From one of your old friends, we had so much fun working at Southern, going to Alabama games, Talladega races, skiing at Lake Mitchell, playing softball and going to the beach. You were a great friend Will and you will be missed greatly!

My thoughts and prayers go out to Will's family, co-workers, and friends. He will be greatly missed.

Will was a good man and a source of deep engineering knowledge. Condolences to the family. Rest In Peace Will.

I'm sad to hear of Will's passing. He was a great engineer and colleague at Southern Company. We both grew up in the "Shoals" and had that history in common as well as engineering. My condolences to his family.

William was truly special and unique in so many ways. He was the big brother I never had. Always willing to get involved and help others. Our times together will always be remembered with fondness and with love. Our prayers and thoughts go out to his family. We know how much he will be missed. What a great loss, but what a great impact he had on so many. May he rest in peace.

I worked w Will for several years while I was at EPRI. Will contributed a great deal of knowledge and leadership to the power industry worldwide.

We go way back with Will! He was a great person, fun and loving from the beginning. We were young and experienced memorable times. We spoke before he died, he was not ready to leave, but ready to see God. May Our Lord bring comfort and peace to Lille and all the families. Dena Cook

Rest in peace my friend. I learned a lot from you.

Rest In Peace my friend.
