Condolence From: Brian Mulrey
Condolence: Bill and I served together in Europe and New Mexico. He was an intelligent, professional, dedicated and loyal officer - and he was a friend who was always willing to provide sound advice and counsel. We've lost a valued member of our military community and we shall miss him. My sincerest condolences to his family.

Condolence: And Now We Say Goodbye


Great sadness fills our hearts today
as pipes and drums, in slow march play.
A comrade’s fallen by the way,
And now we say goodbye.

This hero to the very end
Was more than just a casual friend,
Who would a stranger’s life defend,
And now we say goodbye

But we shall cherish, all our days,
The character this life portrayed
With sacrifice so freely made,
And now we say goodbye.

The hand salute, o’er Stars and Stripes,
And distant skirl of highland pipes,
Give last farewell with hero’s rights,
And now we say goodbye.

While here on Earth, you gave your best.
Now in the Master’s arms you rest.
T’is by your memory we are blessed.
And now we say goodbye.
