I just saw today, that Bill had passed. I worked with Bill at Dupont in Richmond from 1981 to 1986. He was my supervisor, but more importantly, I considered him a friend. He was a good man and a good boss! I last spoke to him, maybe 5 years ago and it was nice catching up. My condolences to his family.

Cousin Bill was like a big brother to us. He always came to see about " Uncle Gordon and Aunt Lizzie" and family. He and Jean called me "Sandy." I can recall going to their house in Algoma, WVA. We were sad when they moved back to VA. When we moved to VA, there he was again taking up time with me and my children. We will always remember the love you showed us.
