I'm am so saddened by this news. I am a court reporter and took many depositions with Bill.
He was always, always a pleasure to work with.
I remember him telling me many moons ago how his daughter could name every bird species. He was, oh, so proud. It was a beautiful conversation, one I'm happy to remember. Peace in your hearts.

Please accept sympathy from a lawyer - who enjoyed every interaction with Bill over many years. More than once he nearly clipped me when squeezing his bulge-mobile through the 55 Public Square garage. With that Smile. God Bless Bill, a Good Man, and Bill's Family Whom He Loved.

I´m speechless right now to hear this news.

I am a court reporter, and I spent many days with Bill traveling all over the State of Ohio during the height of the asbestos litigation.

We spoke about our families often, and I feel like I know all of you personally. My dad was sick at the time of our traveling, and Bill would ask me every day about how my father was doing.

He was such a kind soul. We had many laughs together over the years.

We traveled many times with other attorneys to depositions in a light blue Buick, I think, and often times we would have car trouble on the way. But Bill loved that car!

Please know I am thinking about your family. The Cleveland legal community will not be the same without Bill.
