My heart and prayer's go out to this loving family.
Capt Bill was a kind and wonderful man. A storyteller of many about his wonderful family and some of his close friends.
He will be missed on the river by all of us who had the privilege to know him. God bless you all at this time.
Sincerely, Pamela Tharp, Cook M/V Ray A. Eckstein
