Becky, I just saw this and Very saddened. Bill was one of my favorite people throughout the years in the tobacco industry. He was such a hard worker and did what ever it took to get the job done. Alyssa and I stopped at your house for a nice memorable evening I am so sorry for your loss and hope each and every day gets a little better. Bob
Bob, thank you for your kind words. It’s been a tough 3 years. Bill was diagnosed with MDS in early 2019, started treatment but the first treatment they tried didn’t work so started the second, unfortunately it did not go well and lost his battle. He was surrounded by his family which I am totally grateful for..
He so totally loved working with you and would talk about when you worked with him. Yes I do remember you visiting along with your daughter. It’s a wonderful memory!
Again thank you for reaching out and your kind thoughts.
