When I read of Bill passing, tears came to my eyes. He worked at Pittston Coal at the same time I did. A nice guy. My prayers are with the family.

I met Bill in 1968 and was at ETSU in Pi Kappa Phi with him - a fine gentleman. My prayers are with his family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Bill was a client of mine in business. He was a very kind man with a great smile. I also knew the children who were the same. Bill will be missed by many. He is now at peace with God. The family is in my prayers, may God give you comfort.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I worked with Bill directly for about 15 - 20 years scheduling the flights for he and the flight department while we were at Pittston. He was one of the finest people I have ever known. He was more than just a co-worker. He was truly my friend. I will miss my dear friend. May God keep your family close to Him during these difficult times. Know that you are not alone.
