Not sure what to say?

A very special man. He did great things but most importantly loved his family with all his heart. I hope they are doing well.

Bill was such an inspiration to me. I worked for him in the 1990s and he encouraged me to go to grad school. While in grad school he was on my thesis committee. He was an amazing person, an amazing teacher and just a great guy. I am so sorry to learn of his passing. I send many thoughts and prayers to his wonderful family.

Bill would take classes during the day for both his Phd and DDS and carry out research for those programs. At night, he would show up around 7 in my laboratory and we would work on his own novel interests on cardiovascular - pain regulatory system interactions. Around 11 pm, we would stop and go out for a beer and play a few games of pinball. Then he...
