Bill, you will be greatly missed by many. I remember doing my school project in 1985 on a general manager of a dealership and you kindly entertained a young boy, a car lover in the making. You were at Mitchell Motors Oldsmobile/ Rolls Royce off PIB. I even drew you a car - an Oldsmobile Toronado - gray with burgundy leather. You still had this picture when I worked for you at Hennessy Lexus of Atlanta as your Internet Sales Manager in the early 2000's. Working for you and Peter Hennessy was my favorite job I've ever had! Bill was an example of excellence and presented amazing customer service and unmatched work ethics that we all can aspire to be like. Thank you Bill for just being you. I will miss you friend. Yours truly, R. Brett Maxwell ( ps ) I still drive only Lexus ... love my LS and I always get it serviced at Hennessy Atlanta with Tim Halloran.

Bill was a great man.

My family lived across the street from Bill and Barbara for 20 years. They were the best neighbors anyone could want. I know Bill is with his Lord but we are all very sad at the loss. Barbara, we love you and you and the boys are in our prayers.
