Billy was a great person to grow up with, I will always remember those times on the farm and at the lake. The pack of 6 kids who were always together, inventing games, playing basketball. He was like an older brother to me and I will remember him as such.

I worked with Bill for many years at CIGNA. He was an extraordinary person, friendly teammate and a man of integrity. He had a wonderful sense of humor. I am sadden by his passing and express my sincere condolences to his family.

Bill and I worked closely together at both CIGNA and Lincoln, and he was one of the best teammates I've ever had. He was always there to lend a hand; he was truly kind; and he was one of those rare people who never take their frustration out on others.
Bill will be greatly missed.
