Such sad news to learn of Bills passing. What a clever and witty man who made get togethers more fun. Diane, Carrie and Sam… keep those memories with you always. Fondly , Nancy Kies and family🙏

My deepest thoughts to Diane, Carrie, Sam, and all those who loved Bill. Such a wonderful man.

My sympathies to your family. I didn’t know Bill well, but my husband, Tom, often spoke of him as a man with many legal skills, but also a plethora of knowledge on many topics. He always enjoyed talking with him. I knew Bill as Carrie and Sam’s dad when I was teaching before meeting him socially, and it didn’t take long to discover why my husband respected Bill so much. I enjoyed spending time getting to know both of you. He will be greatly missed by your family, but “Dad’s” and Grandpa’s brilliance, humor and love will never be forgotten. Diane, the love of your life will remain in your heart forever. Thinking of all of you during this very difficult time.
