Although our relationship was strickly business, we extend our sympathies to Mr. William Barnstead's family, and the entire staff at Consolidated Stills and Sterilizers. Mr. Barnstead was a respected leader in the field of sterilization, and allowed our firm to prosper for almost thirty years as a business "partner", for which we are forever grateful. The staff at Buxton Medical Equipment Corp., extends our sincere sympathy for this loss.

Sandi and I extend our sympathies to Charllote and Bill's family. Bill was an inspiration to me in politics going back to the 60s in Arlington. I learned that winning was not always the goal, but the exercising of ideas and providing opposition views was the basis of our democracy and freedom in this country. We will miss him.

We remember Mr "B" as a brilliant inventor and scientist constantly seeking to improve on his successes. A fine American, involved in his community and state, but most of all as a great friend. Our heartfelt prayers and condolences go out to his wife Charlotte and family.
