I met Bill first through Toastmasters at various competitions and functions; later as a golfer through the church league. My thoughts are prayers are with you at this time.

Bill was an integral member of our Toastmasters club. He was a gifted speaker and I not only enjoyed listening to him but always learned from him as well. He will be greatly missed in our group.

Goodbye old friend. We spent a lot of time together at Ross from 1966 to 1996 and all the remaining years at Ross Retirees Luncheons through 2007. We had Joy...We had Fun...We had Seasons in the Sun
