Loved helping people. He would tell me that “when you see someone needing help “help them”…

This is your chance to say so long to him by sharing with others how he has helped or influenced you…

He used to tell stories to the students with a story that went like this…

It’s the only joke that he has…

I know many of you have heard it from him….

“There was this guy rolling a wheel of cheese down the hill…!

The roll of cheese rolled faster than the guy could run…

Some guy at the bottom of the hill started chasing the cheese roll…

The first guy yelled hey!

That’s my cheese…

It’s not chose!”

Ha Ha with that deep bass voice…

He sang in the choir and worked in the food ministry…

Set in his ways and a strict disciplined no nonsense instructor…

We’ve been friends for over forty years and he never called me by my first name until maybe a year ago…

But he did call me by names that we won’t repeat…

He was so proud of me and encouraged me in my endeavors…

William believed in my strength to make them happen…

Going to miss you Sir…

Bruce!
