My family met Bill at the UD Ice Hockey games. He was very loud and passionate about the game. He took my youngest under his wing and taught him alot about the game, and Nick Purse began helping at the games. We all became fast friends. You will be missed dearly. God got another wonderful angel. RIP

It was a pleasure knowing and working with Bill at Discover. He was a kind person who liked helping others. He cared a lot about the quality of his work which I’m sure translated to every aspect of his life. He spoke often of his family and his love for them. He will be missed.
