Had the pleasure of working with Bill in SRNL for several years. He was always upbeat and had a willingness to help everyone. He had a saying that I will remember " it´s all good". He and I had many good conversations and developed a good friendship over the years. He will be missed. Praying for his family during this difficult time.

I didn´t know you, but I can honestly say you help raise a dear precious person! Caroline is such a kind person, with a lot of heart! You and your wife raised Caroline with such love, dedication and sincerity! The reason I know this is because Caroline displays all of these qualities in her character! God bless you all!

Bill was my boss for a few years in K Area at SRS. He was fair and kind in all that we shared at work. Not a mean bone in his body. Prayers for the family in this time of loss. Hope to see him again in praise of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I knew Bill from working at SRNL.
I´m sorry for your loss. Bill was always nice and polite. He sure loved his family and talked about how proud he was of his daughter working toward her college degree. Rest in peace, Bill.
