My sincere condolences to the Simpson family. I worked with Bill at Dupont for many years. I always loved his sense of humour and his stories. After retirement I would frequently encounter Bill, usually at the mall, most recently early January. We would take the time to catch up and I was always impressed by his positive attitude in life. He never complained about anything, but he did tell me how much he missed his Frances. I hope it is comforting to know they are together again. Jim Joncas

Bill, This means I have the bottle. It will be put to its intended purpose, without the recycle option.
