I worked with Bill at Diamond Int'l for several years until the plant closed. I remember Bill as a gentle man with good humor, strong work ethic, and a smile to make your day a bit nicer. In later years I would see him walking his dog after supper and we would have short visits on NY Ave. My sympathy to his family, we will miss him.
