What a wonderful man. Many times I would walk by his home walking my dog and he would always say something kind and positive. I will miss him. I never realized we went to the same High School.

It was indeed a privilege and a blessing to know Bill. His life was a witness of faith, love of family, this deep love rooted in the clan extended to all of God's people and integrity in the business milieu. My prayers and sympathy to the family. May Bill indeed rest in peace and in the heavenly reward he so justly deserved.

My sympathy to Mr. Cavanaugh's family. When I had to take a part time job at Hallbrook, he was one of those people that would always stop at my desk and make my day with always a positive thought. I knew he was special to his family and friends. He seemed to live life to the fullness!
