Time Flies....But never Forgotten...Always In Remembrance.

I just reread each and every one of these wonderful tributes to a very special person, and I smiled as I remembered different aspects of his personality and character! Bill is truly not forgotten. I can still see his wry smile and hear him chuckling about some story he just told. He will live in my memory forever!

This is late in coming, Bill, but it wasn't due to lack of love and respect.

I went to work for Bill as a Sperry representative to the United States Marines in 1977. I had only been with Sperry for about a year. This "semi-permanent" assignment-designed to last only eighteen months-lasted more than twelve years in the field and continued for several more in Phoenix.

I learned so much from Bill, and listened to hours of great stories! You ARE deeply missed my...

It's been a year since you left us pop... you will live in my heart forever. I miss you.

Dear Bill: It's been a long time. I miss your soapbox emails, your zany sense of humor, your shoot- straight-from-the-hips personality. Today I looked up at the sky trying to find you. I know you're way up in the heavens, giving everybody up there a run for their money. I will always miss you. What a guy! Friends, forever . . . "Christie."

Bill you were an inspiration for me. I remember those wonderful evenings we spent together at the AIEM and AMC Conferences re-doing the world. I particularly remember when you stood up for me at the AMC in Vancouver, (even though we were competitors), because you said it was the right right thing to do ! You are a gentleman !

I worked for Bill for many years. I don’t think that I knew a more intelligent, gentle, and generous man. When Bill became my boss, he spent years teaching me the technical part of the job. Then he told me to grab as much authority as I could handle and when I needed him, he would step in to help. He also taught me to read and write complex legal agreements. He was a great mentor.
Bill told great stories, about his younger years, his family, politics, the aviation business, and...

Bill was a friend for 45 years, we worked well together and I'll miss him. Respects to his family as I am sure he will be missed. He was, I believe the best Customer Suport person I've ever known. Thank you Bill.

Dad
I miss you so very much, I have always felt honored that as your daughter-in-law, you treated me as your very own daughter and that didn't change after I was no longer married to your son. I love you and I alway will. I will always have the times that we shared to hold close to my heart. Thank you for letting me be your daughter and loving me.
