Bill was one of the most visionary, enthusiastic, inspiring leaders I’ve known. He transformed the physical campus of UTHSCSA and he masterfully recruited world class physicians, researchers and administrators, using these new facilities to radically enhance the wellbeing of the South Texas region. He was also warm, personable and friendly. It was fulfilling and rewarding to serve with Bill as a volunteer and donor, to help materialize his vision. A few years after his first stem cell transplant, our oldest son Eddie needed one. Bill was generous with his time, meeting with Eddie and me to share his experience. His encouragement was a major influence on Eddie’s decision to plunge forward. Likewise, Mary was generous in sharing with Dee & me her experience as Bill’s caregiver. We will be forever grateful for the impact for good that Bill and Mary have had on our lives! They exemplified lives in harmony with our Creator’s flow of love, which manifested in them, through them and as them. Mary, John, Emily and the grandchildren are upmost in our prayers as they move through this valley of grief.
