After I completed primary training with Brad Sexton at WVFC, Bill was my flight instructor for nearly 20 years, until he retired. He was precise in flying and in communicating in an encouraging manner how to improve my skills. Under his instruction I consistently hit my wake turbulence in steep turns and achieved the other VFR goals in BFRs. I am fortunate to have had two excellent instructors, and to have known and flown with Bill for most of my flying days.

As others have commented, Bill was a fixture at Palo Alto Airport. He was very active in Sundance Flying Club and owned one of the airplanes in the club, N6190R, a Cessna RG172. Bill, as an instructor, was a guiding force at Sundance, always willing to coach pilots in the skills of aviating. His contributions were recognised and appreciated by the club which appointed him as an honorary life member. He will be missed by us all.
