I was sadden to see you lost Bill way too early. I lost my husband in 2018 and the journey back to a normal life is long and hard. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prays.

I worked with bill for many years. He could be gruff at times but also had a friendly humor about him. He had many friends and will be missed. While he was just a few months older than I , and neither of us knew each other before working at Cryovac, we both had served in Viet Nam about the same time.
Brother, May you find peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with Mailynn and Bill's Family. I knew Bill through the PGR. I was a Ride Captain with the PGR and rode with Bill often. Later we were in the American Legion, together. Bill was a Fine Man and as Good a PATRIOT as I knew. May he Rest In Peace!
