My condolences go out to all of Bill's family and friends. To me Bill was a great supervisor, coworker, and most of all he was a great friend. Bill spoke very highly of his family, and he often expressed how proud he was of his children and grandchildren. Bill's witty personality and friendship will be deeply missed.
