It was always a pleasure to see Bill and to have a conversation with him. You always felt good just being around him. He was a genuine classy man, well dressed, drove a nice car and wore nice aftershave.

Please accept our sincere condolences on your dad's passing. It would appear he 'lived' his life and we are fortunate for the legacy of family he has left with us.
