Bill was an amazing boss at Watervliet Hospital. Such a mentor to me & many others. I wouldn't be where I am today without his gentle nudging. Sending prayers to his family

We met Bill at Rock Steady Boxing which was dedicated to "Fighting back against Parkinson´s Disease". Bill was a faithful and dedicated participant at Rock Steady and worked hard to be involved in the program. We will miss his quiet and gentle presence. Our deepest sympathies are with his family during this time of loss and sadness.

Bill was one of the best bosses I've had. He hired me for Watervliet Hospital and I worked there for 16 years. God bless his family
