Bill stood beside me as my best man over 42 years ago, we worked together building a dental practice for close to 20 years, and Joanne and I have been lucky to have Bill in our lives as a good friend for almost a half century. Even during retirement, our breakfast group continued getting together once a month initially and in later years, several times a year.
Bill enjoyed problem solving, taking on challenges that others had abandoned long ago. His intuition, talent and intellect guided towards solutions, rarely having to research a problem to come to an ultimate conclusion. He also had the rare gift of being able to “read” others, and always used humor when dealing with his patients or anyone who was lucky enough to be around him. His forever positive attitude was infectious, and when combined with his sense of humor, he brought sunshine even during gloomy days. Having so many positive qualities is a rare gift, and Bill was exceptionally unique because he possessed so many!
Bill, thank you for being a guiding influence in my life. It has been a true honor to call you a friend for 47 years. Rest in peace.
Joanne and I send our condolences and best wishes to Dede, Billy and Amy Jane. Special thanks to Dede for always being there for our good friend!
