I am so sorry to hear this news. My wish my deepest sympathy to Bill´s family. Bill was not only my long time trusted friend and business partner, he was like family to me and my wife. I have so many fond memories of our many business trips together and our long conversations. He taught me so many things through the years, from marketing techniques to native culture and everything in between. I will always miss you my friend. RIP Bill.
