Enjoyed many years of friendship with Bill during our inspector training events and served with him for several years on the local code association board of directors...Bill was greatly respected throughout the community for his wealth of construction knowledge, and everyone truly loved listening to all of his interesting and humorous stories about his life and careers...it was a privilege to know him and to share the same career path with him for the past 20 years...RIP my sweet friend...you will always be in our hearts

Bill was a well respected member of the local building inspector community. As a young inspector, Bill had many words of wisdom for me and we periodically shared code related discussions. I saw Bill regularly at code related training and meetings and it was always a pleasure to chat with him. The amount of knowledge lost with his passing will be irreplaceable.
May God warm your heart with his memory; he will be greatly missed......Kevin B.
