My heartfelt condolences and sympathies to Bill's family. It is with great sadness that I just came to know of Bill's passing. I feel very privileged to have known him, worked and travelled with him in our CMC days. Bill was the most sincere, authentic, and improbable character I have known, and more funny than he will ever know. I forever cherish the stories he so masterfully related and shared with me. The world will miss him.
