Our deepest condolences Charlotte.
I only met you and Bill a few times through our mutual friend Bobbi Dakich. Although it was brief interactions, I could tell Bill was a warm and pleasant man who enjoyed life.

May he rest in peace.

Bill was a great guy. Worked with him a long time at Tierra Environmental. Always had a smile. I'll miss him. He was one of the best. I may not be able to attend the wake but I'll be there in spirit. RIP my friend.
