Condolences

I am very sad to hear abot Bill's passing. I met Bill and Emily 20 years ago when getting to know my wife's family and friends. My wife, Kimberley, and I had an engagemnt party at their home in Midlothian, VA. I always enjoyed talking with Bill and will remember when he went with us to the UVA vs. VT games. He had a wonderful view of life and treated Kimberley like a daughter. He will truly be missed. We are sorry that we can not make the services due to distance and time.

I would like to offer my condolances to the Kitchen family. I worked with Bill in Charlottesville in the 1970s.
