Bill was my first boss and a great mentor while I was at AWC. More importantly, he was my friend. He was a larger than life personality that had a sense of humor that lit up the room. He is missed, but never forgotten.

Our sympathies go out to all of Bill's family. While he is in the loving arms of God now, his absence here leaves holes in the hearts of all who knew and lived Bill. We are all better persons for having known him.
Peace.
