My husband Jay and I use to downhill ski with Bill many years ago in Aspen. Of all our friends that we skiied with, he was the best. He was a caring man that we cared about. - Connie Heckler - New Haven, IN

Bill was my hockey coach when I played for the Pepsi Komets in 1964. I have always appreciated his devotion and guidance to youth hockey. Bill was a very nice man and I will always have fond memories. We often talked at Komet games over the years. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
