Our condolences to Louise and the rest of Bill's family. Aside from the stories and jokes (some bad, most good), we will always remember Bill for his good natured laugh, hardy handshake, his humility and his sincerity. He always had the time to listen to what you had to say and was always willing to give his sage advise or lend a hand if you needed one. A better person and friend would be hard to find. We will miss you Bill! Sincerely, Fred, Kathy and Sarah - Posted by: Fred Hnytka (Friend - Coworker) on: May 16, 2013
