My my best friend. I had just move to the neighborhood in 1972. I was riding my bike and Bill came up beside me. He asked, do you want to play? That was 54 years ago. We had so much fun and laughs over the years. I was glad to hear, I and our fun times was part of one of your last conversations with your sister Eileen. R.I.P. my brother. Love you!

I worked with Bill for almost 12 years at ATI, and the longer I knew him, the better I liked working with him. It was with great sadness that I learned of his illness.  He will certainly be missed.  

He had a great NYC sense of humor that went straight to the point and we all loved his great wit.

My sincerest condolences to the family.

It was truly a pleasure to work with Bill for nearly 18 years. He always had a joke ready to lift your spirits and brighten your day. It broke my heart to hear of his passing, especially knowing he had so much more life ahead of him. His wit, humor, and friendship will be missed more than words can express.

Bill , it was an honor to work with you for twenty years: you still had your great sense of humor till the end.
You will be missed.

Bill was “one of a kind”.  He will be greatly missed by his friends in NC.  Rest in peace Bill.
