What can I say…Billy was the man! As a golfer and a golf partner, he displayed a patience for those that were more challenged…Me!  He was gracious. He once played a back nine with only a 4 iron as he shared his other clubs with the guy that didn’t bring a set! He didn’t miss a beat! Or a putt or a chip… He took me to the Masters once in his newly acquired car…something called a GTR. Amazing car…but truly amazing golf. He just said…this is how you play! He was a couple putts away from turning pro…gracious every step. We enjoyed multiple ServiceMaster convention golf tournament going back to the early days with Jim Wassell and Beth Okun. His goal was to win but more importantly negotiate deals from our corporate partners that would help him grow his business! He was a proud husband and proud father of 5 beautiful girls! He never said…I wish I had a son…he said my girls could kick your butt…just wait! I used to tell him how unfair it was I was paying for private colleges while his girls got full rides at the Air Force Academy and Boston College. He just smiled and said weddings aren’t cheap! LOL When people met Bill they would ask… How is it going today? His typical response was “if I were any better I would be twins!” Bill knew how to search out those that would help him develop and grow. He went to Canada to figure out commercial…He networked well. He and Dave Stead wrote the best handbook for working trade shows…He could be the life of the party or just be happy to chill…When things would get quiet, he could energize any party…He told better Boudreau and Tibideau jokes than any Cajun I ever met…yes Huey, even you! He was a brother from another mother…“Shake and Bake”! He will be missed!
