While I never had the honor of meeting Bill, I have heard of the wonderful spirit and support he provided the Pioneer Athletic Programs over the years. Coaches tell the story of his spirit and enthusiasm not only for both the Lady and Men Pioneers but for our school. Prayers are with the family during this time of transition and my prayer is for peace and comfort. Bill's legacy continues in Pioneer Pavilion. - Rick (President Northark College)
