My heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Bawcombe and Candy. Bill was a good man and a good leader of men. His work at the railroad was always widely recognized and I always appreciated the fact that he expected you to work hard and in return he treated you with respect. He contributed in his time here and he will be missed.
