I first met Bill when he was a LT in LAD*110 & we (R*2) were in BN*31.....always good to see & work with him ......he lived not too far from me & on occasion i wold see him & his Sons around....he always had a nice hello & took the time for some talk.....he was also a Lawyer.....while he was Chief Of Safety there was a LODD & the FC told him he wanted a report on his desk right away....Bill explained it was not possible but the FC insisted.....Bill insisted it was not the proper way to accomplish it properly & handed in his RET papers.

Bill and I were brought up down the block from each other, in Flatbush Brooklyn. In my career in the FDNY we met from time to time and always greeted each other with a handshake and a smile, in later year despite the difference in our ranks. Bill was always good and fair to me in all ways.
