My mother Ann, my brother Gary and I, were very saddened to hear of Bill's passing. He was a good friend and trusted advisor for more than 30 years.
We would appreciate hearing from any family member, perhaps his brother Larry, of whom Bill spoke frequently.
I can be reached at 512-748-3489.
Please accept our family's most sincere condolences.
