I had the distinction of working with Bill for 10 years.
Bill was loud, aggressive and everywhere but in a good way.
Upon my arrival at ATX Bill took an instant liking to me and was very impressed with my work.
Whenever he had a large deal on the table he always gave me the heads up to be ready.
He put a lot of good words out about me to several of our colleagues’ and connections thru-out the industry.
Bill had great relationships with his customers, educated them very well and most of all they were outstanding to work with.
A few years after my arrival Bill, myself and a handful of others created an Enterprise Level Organization at ATX which we carried over into Broadview.
Upon sharing my memories of Bill with some other people since his passing we all remember how at times Bill could be very tough, some even felt to tough to work with.
Bill was never afraid to challenge anyone. No one ever saw Bill run from an issue. Always resourceful. A master closer. Held everyone accountable.
In the end, we were all better off for him.
Perhaps the best way to remember Bill is to quote Joni Mitchell, “You don't know what you've got till it's gone.”
