My Friend Bill
While not what one would describe as a close personal friend Bill had an influence on my career and life.  This was sad news to me given Bill has left us too soon.. 
My grandfather a Baptist Minister and good golfer once told me that you can judge someone character by the way they play golf. Bill counted every stoke at least while I was playing with him.We enjoyed a number of times together at golf outings..He was quite the host and enjoyed making sure his friends where enjoying the fellowship..Bill loved life, his family and his wife Pat..
I'll always remember his smile there are many occasions I could share all were genuine. Bill built many memories for his family and others..
Sad to hear this news

The industry, our profession and especially those who knew Bill personally have lost a special colleague, friend, role model and a great personality.

Bill was a great mentor to me and many others.  Rest in Peace Bill

I'll always cherish my memories of the many years I spent working with Bill. Lots of fun, lots of laughs, lots of good people. I remember Bill telling me years ago that he didn't know if he would be around to meet grandchildren. I'm happy he did just that. He met his precious grandbabies. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Thompson family.

You are in  my prayers.

You were like a father and leader for me during the time we spend working together and we share a little in Atlanta.

You are in our prayers
Bill and Elyse Erwin

You were the kindest, most generous, wonderful father I could have ever asked for. You inspired me to be the best spouse and mom I could be. I am so glad you were with us long enough to meet your granddaughters and I only wish you had more time with them. Thank you, daddy, for being a constant light in my life and always being my protector. I will miss you with all my heart and love you forever.
