I'll never forget Bill's kindness to my daughter and me. We were at a dinner and had nowhere to sit. Though not previously acquainted, Bill invited us to join him, his wife Sharon and friends at their table. He couldn't have been more kind and welcoming, especially to my daughter. We then reacquainted at the Wallace Boys Breakfast Club and became great friends. His generosity was exemplified when he hosted 8 of us duffers at his golf club. He was such a good guy!

I will truly miss Bill and send my sincere condolences to Sharon, brother Bob, and the rest of the family.
