Bill was one of the nicest people I have ever known. I spent 16 years with HSN but knew Bill mostly through shows and technical needs until 1992. Bill was one of the two people that I was lucky enough to get to film my wedding when I married Linda, my wife now of 34 years. Bill was so kind and helpful and we became more than just workers from the start of the project. I can tell you one thing for sure: he sits today with his wife among the Lord and the angels. I only hope someday I will be as good a human being as Bill was. I miss you Bill. God Bless you my friend.

I knew Bill from my years at HSN. I would describe our relationship as casual until I fell in love and needed a videographer to film our wedding. Bill was one of the videographers that did a fantastic job. We became closer after that. In case you are wondering yes we´re still married, 33 years and counting. I´m sure Bill is already in heaven. God Bless you Bill
