To the Williams Family,
It was only today that I learned about the great loss of my industry friend of more than 30 years. I am greatly saddened and wish to express my deepest sympathy to family and friends. I first got to know Dave when working at Bridgestone Tire many years ago and our business friendship continued over the years. He was always the most pleasant person to be around and I always looked forward to seeing, talking with him.
I shall miss him greatly.
