    I was the first Chief of Security at Champion Hills and hired Bill as one of my first security officers. He usually worked the midnight to 8 am shift. He was very dedicated and an excellent employee. Nothing went unnoticed by Bill. He was extremely dependable and I could count on the fact that the residents and property of Champion Hills was totally safe and secure when Bill was on duty. My sincere condolences to his wife and family. I know because of Bill's faith and trust in the Lord he is in a much better place now and I will see him again some day.
