Remember the smiles, the moments, the little things. Keep them in your heart forever. Don't cry because his life is over. Smile, because it was. Deepest sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. May he rest in peace.

I worked with Bill at Egan.
He was a person who would help anyone with any problem.
Also always had a funny story to tell.
May he be at peace.
