William John Reynolds

Bill was a joy to be around. I grew up two houses away from his. I'm pretty sure my brother joined the Navy because of Bill's service in the Navy. I saw my first opera at the old Opera House in NYC.

Jean,
I'm so sorry to read about Bill's passing. I have fond memories working with him at South Mountain Labs. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
