Bill,

Thank you for being a great mentor and friend over the years. It all started at Ensley VFD when I was a Junior Firefighter, you took the time to explain things and share your knowledge. And again, as a part time 911 Dispatcher, it was always a pleasure working with you in the radio room. You were cool, calm and collective and very passionate about the job and one of the best fire dispatchers ever!!!

Enjoy retirement Bill!!!

Congratulations on your retirement Bill. From your friends at Santa Rosa 911 it has always been a pleasure having you on the other end of the line.

God bless you and your family as you start this new chapter in your life. You’re always welcome for a cup of coffee in our dispatch center.

Your demeanor and calm on the phone and on the radio were the standards I tried to attain and maintain throughout my years in dispatch. Thank you for setting the bar high. Enjoy your retirement – you’ve certainly earned it!

I hope you have a relaxing, uneventful retirement! Well, let’s just say no BAD eventful stuff. Enjoy every moment of it. It has been a pleasure knowing you for the past 25 years. And thanks for all the days you made such a valiant effort to get me a few seconds to grab lunch. Thank you for your service! Hugs, my friend! K
