Noelita and family, We are so sorry for your loss. Bill was a wonderful human being who saved lives and homes for 20 years. Always protecting his fellow firefighters backs in the line of duty. It takes a very brave and selfless man to do what Bill did and never gave a thought about his own well being. May God hold all of you in the palm of his hands during this difficult time and always.
