I am really sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I worked with him at the Charleston Naval shipyard. That was many years ago but I remember he was always one of the good guys that would make you smile. My prayers are with you.

Lisa and family. John Melvin and I (Donna) are saddened to hear of Bill's passing. John just recently visited him and took him for a drive in his blue Cobra - Bill really enjoyed that! Bill has also visited our home in Aiken and he was always upbeat and very happy. He will be missed by all that knew him and had worked with him.
