I was so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. We had so many good times during our Nedlloyd and then P&O Nedlloyd days. Bill was a fine gentleman and a pleasure to work beside. I know you, William and the rest of his family will miss him dearly.
May God bless,
Jimmy

Don't know if you remember me but I worked with Bill at Nedlloyd here in Atlanta - Bill was a joy to work with and always had a smile on his face. Things didn't faze him, he always approached challenges with a can do spirit. We only crossed paths once after we all departed Nedlloyd and I still remember the smile that day.
all my best
