Hello to family. I just discovered today, Bill's passing. I was his client for a number of years when I owned Valpak Direct Mail. He closed my corporation when I sold. I just wanted to express appreciation for what he did for my business and how cordial he always was. I will carry good memories of Bill and wish the family the best.
