To the family and friends of Bill - I would like to offer my sincere condolences. I worked with Bill at Bethlehem Steel CDP when I was a computer operator, and Bill was one of my supervisors. I look back on those days with a lot of good memories, as the atmosphere was much more than just a job. The people were professional, but also friendly and cared about each other. Bill was a very good supervisor, and someone I liked working for. His door really "was always open", and you could talk with him anytime about anything that was on your mind. I can remember some of our talks, always feeling that he was genuinely concerned and knowing that such conversations were in confidence.
I'm always sad to see one of my old friends from Beth Steel passing away. I'll miss him too. Take care and God Bless.

Sorry for your loss. I was with IBM and worked with Bill at BSCO. Last I talked to Bill he had returned from Yellowstone NP, where he was working. Bill was one of the good guys.
