“I worked with Bill for many years. First, when we were at Experimental Ground Test doing the fatigue test of the Dash-8 Series 100; then, when I was at Liaison Engineering Department, he was one of our Stress Engineer supporting us. Our professional relationship was excellent as we felt we were more than colleagues, we were close friends. So sad that he is not with us anymore. Like many others, I will miss him.”
