I am so sorry for your loss. He always had a kind word to say. Now he is with his Marriott partner. I'm sure talking something with computers.

Our hearts go out to Bill's family through this difficult time of loss. Bill has always been courageous and his battle. One of our Fondest Memories is from a couple of years ago when we actually got to spend time with him and Trish had a Solar Bears game in Orlando. It was great to catch up with them and to see how well he was doing at the time. We love you Bill and thank you for being a part of our lives!
