Bill was a constant. He was a man of principle and vision who was fierce and true to his word. He held a quiet sense of confidence and inspired others with the confidence that the problem would be solved. He was also quietly generous and kind. His constant willingness to help his family and others, and to give to the unfortunate revealed his big heart. He never thought twice about giving the shirt off of his back, but he also had the heart of a lion. He stood sure to his principles, beliefs and integrity.
