Ted,Nick&Martha,
I recently learned of the passing of your father, for I am currently out of the country. Bill is a 33 year memory for me. He was not only the model of what a man should be in his profession but in all areas of life. His wisdom, fairness, understanding and humor made him an exemplary man to respect. My love and admiration for him cannot be measured. I will miss him greatly.
