We know you miss your dad. He had a great head for business, loyal, and when he gave hugs, you knew he loved you. He gave me the opportunity to administered and track all the insurance. Bill prided himself on providing free and excellent insurance for his office employees. He was a good man.

I've known Bill (and Annie) since 1989. He invited me to my first Derby in 1990. I had been a guest in the Howard "Hotel" more times than I can count. I will always remember the goofy conversations Bill and I would have sitting at his kitchen counter. I still have my Churchill Downs brick displayed in my home that he gave me. He will be missed. Be in peace Bill. Much Love.

An Angel to us all. He saved the Lauderdale By The Sea Volunteer Fire Dept. to which we will never forget. From the smiles from the kids as they played on the basketball equipment he help place to the waves received from the fire truck that bears his name. He will always be a part.
