Bill is my brother in law and earlier this year when his wife Pat, my sister, was very ill and in the hospital, I talked with Bill daily. Bill maintained an amazing, positive belief that Pat would recover and that he would do whatever it took to support her recovery....and believe me, a determined Bill is a force!! Additionally Bill never once, in our daily phone visits, talked about his own serious health issues as his entire focus was on Pat, celebrating each day even her tiniest improvement. Bill and his steadfast love for Pat and their two sons will always be remembered by me for his devotion to family and for his strength in the face of daunting events.
