Dear Ann,

Dr Bill was like a dad to me. I learned so much from him working at the lab. The many things he taught me I know have contributed to the success I have had over the years in life. Working with him, I saw how many people that he helped over the years. He was always so generous with everyone. You and Dr Bill and your family were like my family as well. I enjoyed getting to know everyone. There is a hole in my heart now, but I know that he is in heaven probably looking at some interesting specimens with the Lord! Medicine was his life. God bless you always.

Rest in peace, Dr Bill.
I worked with him and his brother, Dr Frank, in the 60's at the Medical Arts Bldg. Dr Bill was always a cordial and interesting man to work under and I learned many things from him. I can still see him now in that little red VW convertible that he loved to drive.
My condolences to the Mullins family on the loss of Dr. Bill.
