Sorry to hear of the passing of Bill.  
I enjoyed flying with him and working with him when he was Chief Pilot.  
Not many understood Bill.  I wish that many had taken the time to.  
We played golf together and from time to time he called me into his office and chewed my butt out.
Most of the time I deserved it, but when I was in the right he always acknowledged it in professionalism and fairness.

Just received this message. Bill was Chief pilot in DEN at the time of my retirement (1981). Message sent with regrets.

Bill and I never got to fly together; too close on the list. 
However, in my 8 year tenure as Greivance chairman for the pilot group, I got to know him very well.
As our chief pilot. I found him a tough (you had to have done your homework) but fair and a good chief pilot. 
We had a good, respectful friendship.
God speed on your flight west Bill.
My heartfelt condolances to the family.

Thanks for the two pix, Al.
Now, I can upgrade their webpages.
Do you know what year the pix were taken?
Were they both based in DEN?
Thanks,

I don't know the date of either picture.  They were
both taken in Denver, Mel DLoss was taken in the  crew
room.  Bill Norris was at a FAL Christmas party.  They
both flew out of Denver, Bill was Director of Flight
Operations for a number of  years.  Hope this helps.
