To Bill’s widow, Mary and family, Please accept the deepest sympathy of my wife and myself on Bill’s passing. I served with Bill in the late 1950’s at Bolling AFB. I was a newly minted OSI agent and Bill was one of my early mentors. He taught me a great deal, much of which I can still recall. We also served together in Wiesbaden. in the mid-1960’s.In subsequent years our paths crossed often. Bill was a fine man with one of the keenest minds I know-quick witted and direct. His Master of Ceremonies performances were legendary. Bill was one of those characters in life that are not easily forgotton. So, we ask you and your family to please accept our heart felt sympathy at his passing, John and Sue Miller
