Bill was my coworker and also my good friend. Bill and I talked about everything, the good, the bad, the ugly. I will miss talking to Bill about classic American cars, the crazy city of.Reading, and especially about Philadelphia sports, which Bill loved. Bill loved watching the Eagles, the Phillies, the Sixers, and the Flyers. Me and Bill were just talking about how bad we want the Chiefs to lose the 2024 Superbowl for beating the Eagles in the 2023 Superbowl. You were taken way too soon, Bill, and I will miss our conversations. My heartfelt condolences and sympathies to Bill's family and friends.
