I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I have good memories of working with him at NAPA. Even though I haven't seen him for a long time I will miss knowing that he is still here.

Bill was a great man and, although I haven't seen or spoken to him in years, I will miss him. His stories of his various careers and life experiences inspired me to pursue new things in my life and a new career of my own. Thank you Bill.
