I am so very sorry for your loss. I remember working with Bill back in the early 1980’s when he was Deputy Chair of TD and I was a young lawyer. My experience with him was that he was very patient (with me, not necessarily others) and so very helpful. I so enjoyed learning from him and can only think fondly of him and of the good times we had working together.
