Condolences to the Family

I heard earlier this week of Bill’s passing and offer my sincere condolences to Sandra and family. I worked with Bill in 2010 while at Axis Capital; we had some of the best times in my short tenure with the company. Bill was an awesome man and an absolute treat to work with. He knew how to make me laugh and most days knew I could use a good laugh! So glad to have known you, Bill Landy. RIP.
Cheers in Heaven, Bill.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Bill was an excellent colleague, a true dedicated professional, and an excellent source of “Godfather” quotes to match any situation. He will be missed by all whose paths he crossed. Rest in peace, Bill.

I met Bill while working at Axis, and he was the nicest, kindest, most genuine person I have ever met. I am honored to have know him even for a short while. I have fond memoiries of our longs talks about life, dogs, jamaica and wine. He was so smart. Forever rest in peace Bill. My condolances to all of Bills family.

Sandra and all of Bills family, I am so sad to hear this news. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. It was an honor to work with Bill and to experience his true  commitment and compassion for his fellow man. He is a true example of living a positive life! 
It is unclear to all of us who are left behind why God takes people like Bill so early, but we must keep our faith that His plan is bigger than us all and now Bill is in the peace and love promised.
