Bill was one of the most unique people I ever knew. He was truly a Renaissance Man with numerous diverse interests and talents. I admired him and he was a big influence on me. My wife and I will miss him very much. Our deep condolences to his family.

I have a lot of fond memories and considered Bill a great person. It has been a long time but I still consider him an important part of my life. He was right up to the top. My kids were lucky to have him as a grandfather, I know he loved them a lot. My condolences to Kathleen and the family.
