So sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. I worked with Bill at TRW for many years. Rest in Peace. My condolences to his family.
I got to know Bill when his son Michael was dating and later married my daughter Amber. He was a lovely man who I know was a good friend to his daughter-in-law and a wonderful grandfather. Your passing is a great loss to all of us
