To the Cressman family,
I worked with Bill at Norstar and Fleet Bank. He was an excellent Commercial Loan officer and he taught me a lot about business loans.
He always was talking about his family. Very proud of his children.
Very sorry for your loss.

Bill and I were “Breakfast Buddies” for over 20 years. We discussed everything from family to current events.
I’m going to miss my friend, a lot.
