Dear Hull family,
I have known Bill for over 30 years. First as the auditor for a business I worked at, and most recently as family, being the father-in-law to my niece. I have a high regard for Bill's professionalism and for his character. I will always remember Bill fondly, and smile when I remember his love of "baked beans". I will miss seeing him.
