I am fortunate to have met him and heard many of his great stories. Truly one of a kind. I missed his call last week and hadn't had a chance to call him back yet. For those that talked to him much, a phone call with him could easily go an hour or more. Always ended the call smiling or laughing. Going to miss that. Was looking forward to seeing him and his name at the top of the sheet with his new car he was working on.

Todd had it spot on here: "God Speed Bill, I’m honored to have known him and call him a friend. Always loved his stories and visiting with him. A true American, Patriot, and Warrior. The world is a lesser place without him."
