Without a doubt Bill was one of the greatest pilots at Northwest Airlines. Not only a very professional pilot and instructor, but one of the most fun guys with whom you could spend time. When I was a co-pilot I bid to fly with him as often as possible. He and I kept our golf clubs at the layover motel in MIA. We played many rounds of golf together in Miami. My favorite trip with him was my check-out as a co-pilot on the 747. He was the Captain instructor and we flew from MSP to Preswick, Scotland. On the layover there, we rented a cab to take us to Turnberry where we played golf in some really nasty weather. We were the only ones on the course, but because it was Bill, we still had fun. What a special man. When I became a Captain I tried to emulate him. However, I doubt I ever came close. He will always be in my memory and will be greatly missed.
