I had the pleasure to golf with Bill several times with our group of guys in Florida and South Carolina. He had a great sense of humor and always had an interesting conversation. He will be missed by our group!

I would miss Bill , because I can´t watch his Aliens anymore with him or start watching an old movie . Try to give a hard time or vise versa when we see each other . Making sure I cook the right texture how he wanted his eggs at a certain way . Or else I would not hear the end of it how I cooked it till I leave . Now he his gone I will really miss talking to him . It was a pleasure Mr Dial May you R.I.P. now . And the Lord are God may give your family strength to this difficult time .
