Our thoughts and prayers to Bill's Family at this time of loss. Bill was always a great person, as well as a very cool upperclassman. Knowing that he became an educator, we're certain that he was a positive influence in the lives of many young students. Rest in peace, Bill.

Bill, you was a great gentleman. Always the same, always polite caring. Always great conversations, even about a old white 66 Oldsmobile that you and Mary had that I ended up with and had many years. It was a blessing to have known you and call you “friend” Till we meet again, rest in peace.
