I was shocked and saddened to learn of Bill's death. I missed the obituary in the paper or I would have been there with you during such a difficult time.
Bill was always a hard worker and a stalwart in the Portland community. I last spoke with him on
December 10 and he had hopes of some upcoming opportunities. He will be missed.
