In a tough time, when I really wanted to win, Bill reminded me that taking care of my health was far more important than success.

We knew Bill (and his lovely wife Kathy) through the CFPNI. Although it's been a few years, we will always remember the brief time we had together and reflect with fondness when our paths crossed. Peace and love to you all.

A truly dedicated advocate who was a pleasure to work with, even across the table as "adversaries." A wonderful person. I am very sorry for your loss. Cheri Cannon, Oak Hill, VA.

I knew Bill while serving on the Senior Executives Association Board during the 2000s. Bill was an amazing lawyer who could work with both sides of an issue with equanimity. He was generous in his work and devotion to the SEA. He will be missed.
