I just heard tonight of Bill's passing. Bill was a good man always doing everything he could for his family. Without his help and guidance I would never have been able to live the life I have lived. I am forever grateful for having been blessed to meet him and for sticking his neck out for me to get a job at Milestone Nuclear Plant. Rest in peace Bill. Condolences to Connie and his family!
