Robin
I am very sorry for your loss. Bill was a great Manger and Friend when I worked under him at Markel. My thought and prayer are with you at this time. May God be with you.

Robin : I wanted to extend my condolences to you and your family. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to spend a few years working with Bill at the Essex. I was also fortunate to have the pleasure of hacking around on the golf courses in Richmond and Myrtle Beach with "Smokehouse". I will treasure the memories and times we shared together. All the best.

Robin, I am so sad to hear of Bill's passing. I enjoyed working with him at Markel for those 16 years. He taught me so much about insurance operations during that time. Sending lots of prayers and hugs to your entire family.
