I will never forget the enjotment we shared on our trip to Mexico. Vanessa and I will both miss you but always remember you dearly. I never got to hear the story of the Samurai sword but assure you it is in safe keeping with my others. May you be at peace-you will always be loved.

To the friend that left us, and that we hope to see again down the road:



An Old Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind always be at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.



See you down the road, Bill.

You'll be missed, Tin Man. You touched alot of our hearts here at Nabisco. Your talents, humor, stories and personality made a difference!

Willie was the most selfless man I ever knew. He was always a "father-on-loan." He always told us stories of spirits in his home and how spirits exist. And, I know, his spirit also lives on. Willie, I miss you so much but I know I'll be seeing you. Thank you for always being there. I love you Willie. This "numbnuts" will always miss you.
