To Bill's beloved Beverly and Family: I send you my deepest sympathy on the passing of a wonderful man, husband, friend. Bill worked with me in Troop 230 for six years in the 70's. He was an inspiration to me, giving selflessly of his time to the boys and to "growing up" the troop's leaders. Many many young men owe Bill much. I'm sure that you will miss him very much as well.

Blessings to you all.
