I met Bill when we were roommates at the Loomis-Chaffee school in Windsor, Connecticut. Bill was a serious student and a role model for many including myself. I transferred out of Loomis so I didn’t get to graduate together but seeing these early photos in the montage takes me right back to 1976. That smile.
Condolences to Bill’s family and friends. He was a special person and am sure he is missed by many.
