Bill was a good man and a great friend to my husband and me. I'll always remember how hard he worked to build the marina as well as his humor, warmth and honesty. My heart is with his family.

My sympathy to the family regarding Bill's passing. I worked for Bill in the early 1980's and saw recently that the marina had been bought by a corporation in Maryland.
May you rest in peace in the hands of the Lord
