Losing someone that we love never comes easy.
It is truly heartbreaking. May God's promises in
Isaiah 65:17 comfort and help you.

I just learned of Bill's passing. During the years that I worked at the Museum Of Texas Tech Bill was always friendly, courteous and helpful to the education division. He always went a step beyond what we needed.

He was a great ambassador for our organization.
