It was our good fortune to have Bill join the Defense team. He quickly became an integral part of our group, providing his unique perspective on how to grow the business. I appreciate all that he did for the team and for me and for the company.

We are so sad to just hear of Bill's passing...We only knew Bill through Sniffer Station, but I spent many evenings talking with him as I picked up Suki...Bill was truly a person who was genuinely interested in listening to me as I was listening to his stories...I learned a lot from our weekly talks back in the early days at Sniffer.He was a great guy who will be so missed by all who were lucky to meet him. I will never forget how much he loved my Suki & she returned the love by licking his full beard.. Peace to all his family, friends & doggies that loved Bill !!!!
Love, Ray, Jill & Suki Boyle
