Bill is always remembered fondly when we reflect on Mark's time at Hawkinson. He was such a caring man. Thinking of you all at this time.

It was warming to read about his impact both in business and his relationships. My...

Ricki and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I have moved to Sarasota and did not hear of this until this morning. You will be in my prayers. Bill was such a wonderful, kind man. He will be missed.
