I worked at LAGERS for two years on a software project. Bill was a special person to know.. His professionalism and care for all who worked there was first class. Bill had a subtle sense of humor, and had an impact on me personally. Blessing to his family, a man who impacted many.. Mick Haney

So sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences to you. I hope at this time, God will bring you comfort and peace. May the love of family and friends help you through this most difficult time. Please draw consolation from the Bible’s promise, “And He (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and Death Will Be No More, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain, be anymore…” (Revelation 21:4) With deepest sympathy.
Sandy, I just learned of Bill’s passing. I am so sorry for you and your family. We were so close growing up, I wish we had kept in touch. I think of him often.
