So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. His smile could light up a room at Monterey Village, and he loved giving Mom trouble about her enthusiasm with Oklahoma football. Virginia, you and the family are in our prayers.

I got to work with Bill when I worked for Safeco Insurance Company in St. Louis. I always respected him for his honesty. I never questioned anything he said. He was a good man. Once I visited with him at his rural home-it was the first time I ever had a Bloody Mary with a beer backer!

So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I knew Bill as the Chapter Advisor of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at Baker University from 1967-71. In that capacity, he touched many young men's lives. More than he knew! Bill provided a wonderful example for us to follow by how he conducted himself as our alumni advisor. He will certainly be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
