Bill was just a joy to know. He was a highly intelligent and compassionate police officer. Working with him was always a rewarding experience. He had a way of just improving your mood and disposition with his interesting conversations. I want to express my sincerest condolences to his family. We all lost a great friend and a superb human being.
