Bill was a key member of the U.S. Marshals Service’s Witsec operations in Chicago. For many years, we relied on his expertise in a wide range of high security activities, which allowed us to keep those people and facilities we were charged with protecting safe. Bill’s ability to find humor in people and things, at appropriate times of course, was always something that we welcomed and appreciated. I am indeed blessed to have had the pleasure to have worked with Bill, and mourn his passing.
