My condolences to Mrs. Viers as well as the entire family.
I met Bill many years through the Sons of Confederate Veterans organization. I had the pleasure of inducting Bill into the SCV, as well as Thad who was then attending The Citadel. Bill loved his family, was a fine gentleman and I had immense repect for him.
May God Bless.
