Bill was my classmate and our high school class president (LTHS 1951) - intelligent, capable, commanding; yet, warm, friendly, always acknowledging of others; a very special person, who not only represented our class well, but who continued to make us proud -- leaving a worthy legacy to humanity. I am happy to have known Bill.

I first met Bill in 1989 when I came to work at Access TCA, and remember him as being a kind and friendly man who always took the time to say hello and ask how things were going. He will be missed by his family and friends for which he was blessed. My sincere condolences go out to the Yag Family at this sad time.
