So sad to hear the sad news of Bill passing one of the best people I had worked with over the years. Excellent on the plant and with people…Condolences to the Graske family..

You were one of the first people Bailey I met here in the valley way back in 2006. A true gentleman, larrikin; always having a laugh. You took Bailey under your wing at squash and encouraged him every step of the way; and me; well let’s say I attempted the game.
Fly high Bill, the world is not going to be the same without you in it.
