Bill became a good friend to me for many years when I became an orchid enthusiast. He often bragged on his sons and especially his granddaughter. He even taught me a little pool. RIP my friend

Bill gave me a professional break when I needed it, and was unwavering in his support. He was my first real mentor and one of the kindest men I've ever known.
