Sorry for your lost. Bill was a good man who I know loved his family. Bill and I worked together at FlightSafety. We also played golf together. I know he will be missed.

Bill was, without a doubt, one of the finest instructors I ever had in over 50 years of aviation. Consistent, tough, and thorough. I always left his sessions knowing I had learned something. Perhaps, more important, he had a sense of humor and an air of decency. Godspeed, Bill
