Condolences for William J. Fry
It was a pleasure to know and work with Bill. He will be missed.
I never met Bill but he worked at BNSF with my dad, Everett Nissen. My dad talked about him a lot and really liked him. They were about the same age. He especially talked about how nice he was and that he was a great golfer. Sounds like he was a great guy also. My condolences. Bill Nissen from Raymond, Nebraska.
So sorry to hear about your loss Sharon
