Bill was instrumental in helping me start my career as an electrician. When I worked with him building turkey farms, he only ever encouraged me and told me how good I was at the job but offered advice and improvements where necessary.
To me, he was a good man who touched many lives. I consider him, at the very least, partially responsible for the life I am able to give my wife and kids now. I regret not making time to visit him while he was still here.
Your stories, sense of humor and friendly and kind demeanor will be greatly missed and while the world is lesser with you gone, it is so much better because you were here.
Thank you Bill for all of the encouragement and for your friendship.
