Condolence: Bill worked for my Dad for many years. It was a privilege to know him. I worked with him on weekends and during the summers as I grew up. Bought his 1963 Dodge Polara 500 from him. Wonderful car which I wish I still had. I cannot put into words how much he did for me - and how much he taught me. Knowing him at an early age shaped who I am now is so many ways I cannot even imagine who I would be now without his influence. This was a good man. As good as any I have known in my life. He worked hard but knew how to have fun. So much of his life was about work - but he had a knack for making it fun. I never forgot that and made it part of me. Working with him and for him was something I enjoyed. Spending all my days in the summer in a hot sweaty machine shop when most kids my age were playing baseball or whatever. Instead of dreading it - I loved it. God bless him and keep him and GO NAVY!

Condolence: Bill was a wonderful person. No matter his trials, he persevered and kept going. He would always offer a smile and word of advice. I will miss him dearly.
