It is with great sadness that I heard of Bill Modell's passing. He truly was the light in the hallways in the Modell's Home office. My deepest sympathy go out to his wife, Shelby, and family. I will always remember his words in the hallways at Modell's "How you doin Kid?" Bill will be missed more than you can imagine.

My deepest condolences to the Modell Family and I will keep you all in my prayers.

My warmest prayers are for the Family at this time.

Bill was a wonderful man full of ideas and visions. He is one and a million. May god bless his family.

I had the great pleasure of knowing and working with Bill Modell. His selflessness and sense of humor is something I will always remember about him. My thoughts are with all his family and close friends. May the great memories you have of him bring you some solace in this difficult time.

The world suffered a huge loss when Bill left us. He was such an inspiration to all who knew him. He will remain in my heart for always. Deepest sympathies to Shelby and the entire Modell family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Modell's Family.
