I just heard of the passing of Bill today in reviewing the obits, and am sorry I missed his funeral mass. I will offer my next mass for him. I worked with Bill at FORD (OPEO) ever since being transferred from Ford Windsor, in 1965. We were both supervisors with Ford, and both had extended foreign assignments, he in So. Korea, me in Australia. I think I got the better location, but we would often compare notes on these assignments, as he loved to reminisce!
Just a tidbit, if I may….Bill and I were anticipating retirement around the same time, but would not reveal the date to each other, so I bet him $10.00 that I would resign before him. As it happened, I submitted my letter of resignation, one day before Bill…..but he never did pay up! Bill was always most congenial, and was considered by all to be “ one of the good guys”
Our thoughts and prayers are with Cathy and the family at this time.
