Bill and I worked for many years at LAX for American Airlines before he transferred to SNA in Orange County. From the beginning he was a fountain of information and willing to share it when his helped was needed. After I became a Crew Chief I had the opportunity to share some of that knowledge with his son Marc (RIP) at LAX when he joined us for a short while as a Stock Clerk; he too was a fine young man just like Billy.
My deepest condolences to his whole family, some of which I met for the only time at
Marc’s funeral services due to his motorcycle accident. May both Rest In Peace.
