I first met Bill when we worked at SPCC. We had many nice conversation and as far as I was concern, he was by far the best technician I had to deal with. After he retired, we kept in touch, in fact he was on my morning paper route and we would occasionally talk. I last talk to the daughter who live with and she gave me the update on her father. May the family feel his loss.

Sorry to hear of your loss.
Bill was a great guy, and got me into the Nat'l Guard when we lived at the Lyon's farm in 1955.
