To Judy and Bill’s family—our deepest sympathies to you in the loss of Bill. He and I were UNL fraternity brothers. We were a few years apart, but I saw him periodically, and he was always a class act. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember when the house on 42nd street was being built. I lived across the street and was fascinated by all the construction. One day Bill came by the site and scolded me for playing around the house. Bill was a great person and will surely be missed.
