Jim Mathesius wrote a sympathy message

“My deepest sympathies to Bill's parents, his two children Kristen and Steve, Elizabeth, and Liz. I met Bill at Siemens, and we worked together for many years. We discovered we both had a passion for running. He taught me more about running than anyone else. We ran several marathons together. He was in the elite league and ran Boston several times. He was also an avid skier, cyclist (all over the U.S. and Europe), swimmer, and an Ironman triathlon finisher. May he rest in peace.”
