I was hired as a new Operations agent in Roanoke in late 1963, and came to know Bill when he was first based as a pilot there. After all these years I still consider him to be one of the nicest persons I have ever met. Me, as a new Ops agent, and he, as a new pilot, taught each other a lot about the entirely different positions, and I think it helped both of us... especially me. I always appreciated that, and how I could ask his advice on how to best work with other pilots. I was not surprised when Bill kept rising through the ranks. Such a fine man will surely be greatly missed. My sympathy goes out to all his family. It was an honor for me to have known Bill Durbin.
