I worked with Bill at the high school. He could be cranky but once he got to know you he was hysterical. So sorry to see him go.

A creative man who could build or fabricate anything he wanted. Despite the almost 40 years difference in age when we worked together I had nothing but respect and admiration for him. If he let you get close to him you found out what a great and loyal person he was. Let the stories and memories live on.

A creative man who could build or frabicate anything he wanted. Although he was almost 40 years older than me when we worked together I had great respect for him. I know he will be missed and for those us that were able to get close to him it was a special relationship. Ray Hastings Ocala Fl.

Condolences to the family. I worked at Montville and had many an occasion to speak to Bill. His exterior was rough, but his heart was gold. RIP Old Guy.
