I first met Bill when I became a new Investigator with what was then ATU. He was Investigator In Charge of the Huntsville, Al Pos of Duty. He was most friendly and helpful to a brand new Investigator and treated me most kindly.
I have accompanied him on some of my first raids
on moonshine stills and be was a great support to a new Agent. He was a gentleman and friend.

Bill has been a true and trusted friend and a pleasure to work with in Adoniram Lodge. Enjoyed many interesting and entertaining conversation with him at the lodge. Always was particularly interested in listening to his flying stories and how much he enjoyed flying his plane. He will be missed by many. Prayers to all his family.
