Although I did not know Bill personally, I chatted with him several times on the phone (many years ago), when I would try to track down Tom for work questions! Obviously, this was way before cell phones were available!
Bill was always so kind to me, and I really enjoyed speaking with him.
I know he is greatly missed.
Sending prayers for comfort for your family.
