I am saddened to learn of William´s passing. I had not seen him in many years, but I recall what a handsome and charming gentleman he was. I was not able to get to know his children very well and I do regret that. Two of my sons-Phillip Dye and John Dye-are half brothers of William. All of us send our love and sincere condolences to William´s family and friends.
