I wish us all strength to get through each day. We will all miss Bill (y) so very much. I pray that his family, and dear friends (of which he had many many many) find peace in the days ahead. Bill was the best cohort I ever had. He brought me happiness with his humor and insight. He will be sorely missed by me and many others. He is loved!
