Read MoreMy thoughts and prayers to all of you. I fondly remember our Miami days with the "Higgins Boys" at the "Higgins House". Your family was always so kind and generous.

Bill, although we were cousins, I always felt that you were more like a brother.
I have so many fond memories of you starting from our childhood right up till now. You are one person that I can nevr forget - and I really don't want to forget.
Friends forever.

"Amen" to all that Bob said so well (above) about OUR/my (best) friend, Bill..
And, even though I was older than him, he taught me sooo much about Shipping and about Life..
He was and is SPECIAL for me and for sooo many others..
(from force of habit) I gotta ask:
Billy, can you lend me twenty 'til payday?

My condolences to Elaine and family. Bill taught me so much during his time in Miami. Despite being only a few years older he was a mentor to me during my early years in the shipping business. His drive, dedication and work ethic helped shape my goals and development in management. I still to this day tell stories about him to young sales types to use him as an example about how anything is possible if you persevere .
Bill will be missed...his legend will never fade
