William D Maples

Mr. Maples, took the time in my very troubled youth, to help me get started. Only with his recommendation to the Department of Defense (submarine base) and other acts of kindness was I able to begin in the pipefitting trades. I contribute my success to him and would not be where I am today without his trust in me and my Lord. My only regret is; I did not take the time to thank him, in person, for his help.

I was very fortunate to meet Bill many years ago when I first worked for him. Bill was a gentleman and a mentor to me. I appreciate all the stories and the precious time God gave me in my life to know such a wonderful man. Cathy I am so sorry for you loss. But had I not been blessed to meet Bill I would never have become best friends with his daughter Sherry. My heart aches for you my friend. I know no words I say will ease the pain, but know that I am here for you and God will help you...

Our prayers are with the family during this sad time. Tim & I are very sorry for your loss.
