Air Force Reserve. He and his wife Renee have resided in Carmel and San Francisco, California for 35 years. Both loved to ski and the mountains at Jackson Hole, Wyoming beckoned them for fifteen years. Known for a subtle sense of humor which was often displayed as editor of the Colorado Daily in his under graduate years at the University of Colorado. Bill will be missed. Memorial service will be on Thursday, August 30, 2012, 11 AM at Carmel Mission Basilica, Carmel, California.
