I had the pleasure of working with him at TWA, possible one of the most talented electricians in the industry if he were as good a father and husband
As he was in his profession he was truly outstanding and I believe he was sorry to hear of his departure…

I have many memories of my Uncle Bill. All of them sweet. He always showed a cheerful demeanor and that picture of him accurately conveys his personality.
I recall that when I was around 10 years old, Uncle Bill took me to the area at LAX just outside the fence about as close as you could get to the runway to watch the big jets land. Then he took me to a bookstore and bought me a couple books on airplanes. As a young boy I too was fascinated with planes. Uncle Bill also gave me a tour of the planes being serviced where he worked for TWA. We were only 13 years apart in age so he was almost like a big brother.
