I was a service contractor to WL Gore & Associates since back in the 90s and had the opportunity of meeting & working with a lot of really fantastic people there. One of the shining lights I worked with the most (longest), off & on, over those almost three decades was Bill Mortimer. Energy, insight, creativity, tolerance uncertainty and ambiguity, enterprising. He was a gem to work with/for. I for one really miss him. Jack Dyer, Synergics Corporation

Bill was a long time friend and mentor who kept us all laughing! His kind heart, keen observations, and gift of story telling painted a vivid and humorous backdrop for our lives at work and beyond. His spark is too vibrant to have left the world, and so I look forward to seeing it show up in the little things. Miss you, Bill. Sending heartfelt wishes for comfort to Bill's family at this time.

Hurricane Bill is a nickname we lovingly called you in Japan. Your passion for R&D inspired us and motivated many to keep on working while believing in what they can develop. I really enjoyed all our chats on the way to and back from Yoshinaga station. I can still remember your laughter and smiles. Rest In Peace, Bill. You are no longer causing any turbulence or hurricanes.

Sad to hear of Bill's passing. My condolences to his family. I started with Bill's team at W.L. Gore & Associates back in 1987. He was definitely one of a kind, always had something to say. I just saw Bill last Christmas and we sat for a bit to chat. Rest in peace.!
