Matt H wrote a sympathy message

“Bill was such a special person. I married his granddaughter. Bill's best quality, in my humble opinion, was the advice he offered. His advice was always spot-on, and I learned much from him. In fact, I learned so much from him that it changed me as a person, in a good way. He had a way of explaining his advice so that you understood why it was so important. He raised such a nice family that all have so much respect for him. Everyone wanted to be around him all the time. What a life he built!”
