Loved working with "Wild Bill" in Cabrini Green during special. Great stories, cigars and great advice. For a young Cop (over 20 years ago now) it was like working with your Grandpa.

Although I will miss you Bill rest assured you will live on when I tell funny stories about us working together.

Rest Easy Office, You were one of the Best!
