He began his career with General Electric before transitioning to a prestigious tenure with Cincinnati Thermal Spray. Along the way, Bill made friends with everyone who crossed his path. He was a mentor to scores of colleagues, a father figure to so many and a true friend to countless individuals. There truly are not words that can express the qualities that Bill excelled in. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and so much more. It would be nearly impossible to find a more kind, fair or caring person.
