We were so saddened to hear from Craig that Bill had died. We will miss him walking up that curved driveway from your house on Elk Lake towards our cabin on the hill behind you. He will be missed by all of you. We are so sorry. Our Lord welcomed him home.

Bill was one of my greatest clients and I will surely miss him and his wonderful sense of humor. I recently had lunch with him and when we arrived back at Capital Steele, he said wait a minute i have a surprise for you, he opened his trunk and handed me my designer bag that I had left at a restaurant almost a year ago. I had forgot all about it but it will be used again in Bill's memory. I had the privilege of working with him on the Board of ABC and sharing many lunches with him. I extend my condolences to Sandy and his son and daughter and his precious grandson. I know he is with his Savior Jesus Christ in heaven. I will never forget his compassionate spirit. What a great loss to this world. I just cant believe his passing.
