Condolences from Legacy.com...
I cannot forget your face nor can I forget our eyes. I cannot forget the way you loved my sister and the way you Loved Alex. I cannot forget your thoughtfulness and the way you always asked me to help you in your medical training for Para-Rescue when I was around. For all the people you have touched their hearts and for all the people whom touched yours. You Bill (William, BUB) Will always be near me in spirit and heart. For I love you my brother and I miss you. Never does a day go by that I wish you were still here. ~ Israel
Bub was the epitome of a quiet professional. All he wanted was to operate and be the best at what he did. He cross-trained into Pararescue late in his career, but quickly excelled in the demanding profession of saving lives. He led his men from the front and always sought ways to gain more experience. He loved jumping out of airplanes, shooting, flying in the helicopters, and working in the water. Bub was a dedicated family man and a born-again Christian whose priorities were the Lord and his family. He is dearly missed but not forgotten.
