“My deepest condolences to Joan and the Murcko family. Bill was a truly remarkable man, and it’s difficult to capture all the ways he made a difference in the lives of those around him. Of all his qualities, what stood out to me most was his unwavering kindness and genuine interest in others. He had a way of making people feel seen, valued, and cared for. This world has lost but another has gained.”
