I am so sorry to hear about Bills passing. I met Bill through work, but we became fast friends spending alot of time outside of work together. One of my fondest memories of Bill was when we did a mud run together and we both got drenched with mud and water. We both laughed so hard that day.
You will be missed my friend!

Bill was a wonderful colleague. He was my go to guy when I needed ITS assistance. Not only was he warm and welcoming but he was so knowledgeable. I have very fond memories of him, and our interactions over the many years I worked with him. He was always happy and smiling. Genuinely an all around great guy. It broke my heart to hear this news. Please accept my condolences during this difficult time and cherish the memories he left behind.

William was a military buddy of mine. We served on the USS Lynde McCormick DDG-8. He was always around lending a hand in showing me the ropes when I first checked onboard. Not knowing that we were creating a lasting relationship not only as shipmates but as Friend. You will be greatly missed. May you find peace. "Far Winds and Following Seas" we will never forget you.

I was introduced to Bill from a close neighbor who spoke highly of a Navy Vet who served life full of admiration for family, friendship, our nation and who was sincerely giving and caring deep from within his soul. Along with another fortunate friend, we four became known to us as the Horsemen, who rode in in celebration of friendship to music events, his lake house, and celebrations of our own life events or just to have a beer with a buddy. Bill was everything and more that my neighbor prepared me for, and I will always charish the Horsemen expereiences. Our memories will ride forever. Thanks for the smiles and the laughter we shared. Luv ya Bill !
