William and I worked together at Phillip Fibers for many years. He was a fine person and a good friend to me. I gathered from another comment, he was in a lot of pain. While it is hard to lose our friends and loved ones, we do not want to see them suffer. I am thankful William is not suffering anymore. May he RIP. God be with his family, give them peace, comfort, and strength when they need it the most.
