I've known Bill since he was 17 years old. He hired me in the bank that his father owned in Jacksonville in 1984. Bill was married to my life-long friend's daughter at the time of his tragic death. He was smart, fun-loving and hard working. He put a lot into anything in which he believed. He has touched a lot of people's lives, including mine. He will be missed by many. God bless all the Gwatney family.
