What I will miss about Bill: his zest for life; welcoming attitude toward all people; faith in God; loyalty to family and friends; willingness to work hard; passion for adventure; youthful spirit; willingness to try new things; resilient and adaptive mind; warmth and kind heartedness - the list could go on and on. Those of us who knew him had the privilege of being more lucky than smart! He will be deeply missed.
