Shellie, Colin, Ryan and rest of the family: I am truly sorry for your loss. I enjoyed working with Bill over the years together at BKV Group. We used to sit right across from one another in the office and after talking about some issues on a project, especially the Post projects in Philly, we would talk about family and other outside interests as well. He was quiet for the most part but when an issue came up, he was challenged to find a solution. That showed his dedication to his profession and work as well. He was on the leading edge to find a more efficient design in a project and to help the client. He was also able to explain systems and functions to those who wanted to know more about them.
I can remember a few calls/meetings during the COVID times away from the office that at the end he would say, “I need a break, I’m heading to the beach this afternoon and getting on the water.” I hope that he was able to enjoy that time. I know that he had his health issues, and we had a few discussions about him and my mom who was also dealing with colon cancer. I hope that those brief conversations provided some peace to him. I will miss not being able visit and talk any longer, but I am glad that his body is at rest.
Again, my condolences, sympathies, and prayers to all of you and I’m sorry that I will not be able to see you this weekend at his services as I will be with my oldest son graduating from college. I pray that you will all have a blessed time in remembering him, celebrating his life and hearing many fun stories of Bill from the past and how he had an impact on many lives.
