I am proud to say that I knew Bill, served with him as a Chapter Representative and considered him a friend.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bill's family and friends. Both my wife and I knew Bill. His contributions to the profession were many and he will be greatly missed.

A memorial service will be held July 28th at 2:00 PM, at the Sierra View Funeral Chapel 6201 Fair Oaks Boulevard, Carmichael, just east of Sacramento.

I was out of state, on the road when I heard the news. I'm saddened and somewhat shocked. I'll miss visiting with Bill at Chapter functions and at the annual conference.
