My late mother, Bess Nikitas, served with Bill on the Newbury Court Campus Staff Appreciation Fund. She thought Bill and "his wonderful Joany" were a delight. As a Trinity parishioner I was honored to serve as an usher at his service and to hear from his children and grandchildren about his life and legacy. May his memory be eternal.

In recent years, it has been a pleasure to continue this old friendship. We will dearly miss him. Our deepest sympathy goes to you and your family. With great fondness Liz and Andy Ward
