Margaret and I were fortunate to be in the Hartford area shortly after Bill's accident, and had the opportunity to see Bill and talk with him. As Bill's supervisor in the Membership Services Department, I always found Bill a great asset to the DXCC program. No one knew "the system" like Bill, and I know DXers miss his willingness to discuss DXing with the gang. RIP Bill

We were so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was a good "Ham" friend as well as a "personal" friend. Over the last two years we stayed in touch with phone calls (when we could) and found the funniest get well cards we could to send to him---Sharon said he so enjoyed those cards. We will miss Bill's friendship.

I have fond memories of talking radio with Bill at Huntsville and on a visit to Newington, where he took the time to have a welcome note for me on the lobby whiteboard. Thanks for the friendship and the fellowship, Bill.
