William Randal "Bill" Shumate

I miss interfacing with Bill on FB and viewing pics of his dogs. I can envision Bill in heaven walking and talking to his dogs.

Oh Bill, I shared one of my most memorable and funny work stories with you. I still laugh when I think about it and get big laughs when I tell others!!! You know exactly what I'm talking about. Much respect for the submarine sailor. Rest easy my friend. Your friendship and wit will be missed by many. Kevin Brennan

I worked with Bill at NAPS and found him kind and friendly. Always having an interesting observation about any situation he found himself in. I thoroughly enjoyed his friendship and will miss him at the group breakfasts he occasionally frequented. Rest in peace my friend.

I always enjoyed interacting with Bill at work and on FB. Bill was a straight shooter who had high standards and always walked the talk. We shared a mutual love and respect for dogs. Bill will be sorely missed.

I worked with Bill for many years. He was a great guy. I really got to know him well while I took him back and forth to Charlottesville for his treatments. Rest in peace my friend.

I worked with Bill for many years at NAPS. Bill was a great guy and mentor. Bill was one of the contributors to the Instrumemt Shop comic book. Bill I will miss you posts of you and the dogs out at the pond. Rest well my friend.

I worked with Bill many years at NAPS. We both served in the Navy so had much in common.
