Saddened to hear of Billy's passing. A long time ago we were classmates at George Washington University, workmates at the US Capitol and frequent golf partners. Nothing but fond memories.

My Uncle Bill was a great guy. He and played golf and tennis in Florida and Connecticut. He won at golf (always) and I won at tennis (most of the time). He and Lynn were the perfect hosts when my friends and I showed up (totally unannounced) at his house during spring break from college. He took us out on his boat and made us feel welcome.
Uncle Bill always seemed to enjoy life - he was always active and happy. He'll be missed, but he will be remembered with a smile -
