Bill served in the US Air Force as a Meteorologist retiring as a Colonel after 28 years of faithful service to his country. During his career he achieved many accolades for his accomplishments, but most cherished medals are the Bronze Star received from General Schwarzkopf and two Legion of Merit Awards, one presented by the US Air Force and one presented by the US Army. He was also part of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. After retirement from the US Air Force Bill worked for Planalytics, Inc. There he helped many clients understand the various weather sensitivities of different product lines at different times of the year. He loved showing the corporate world all his weather knowledge and how his knowledge could help them save or make more money by offering the right products at the appropriate times. Bill enjoyed sailing and wood working, but most of all he loved his family and looked forward to taking his family and spending time with them at the family cottage in Cape Cod every summer. Bill was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. He will be missed deeply by all who knew and loved him.
