Rest In Peace Bill

I soloed with Bill in 1984.
He was a gentleman and an incredible instructor.
During our time together I asked him why he volunteered to teach kids like me how to fly. He replied that everything he got in life was from aviation, and this is how he paid it back.
He jokingly signed his letters to me with "last of the living aviation legends,etc.etc." and he was right.
My condolences to his family,and everyone who knew him. He will be missed, and he left huge shoes yet to fill.
He will not be forgotten.
