Dear Bev and Family: I have many fond memories of Bill from our early times at 3M. Back then, he was a futurist because of his concept of a special hospitality suite. He was sought by customers because he ensured our customers were treated royally and protected from incessant sales pitches that plagued them from our competitors. It was exciting to watch him in action. I was proud to work with him. More recently, I was thrilled by his invitation to join the gang at the retiree's lunch. Bill's friendship was a blessing back then, and having had the chance to renew it was a blessing recently. Bill, you, and family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
