Ivana and family. I am so sorry for your loss. I consider myself good friends with William. I went to Texas Chiropractic College with him, he was five tri's ahead of me, I started undergrad in Sept. of 2005 and graduated in Dec. of 2009.
My wife, Rita, and I moved from East Tennessee to Houston for me you go to chiropractic college. We knew no one in Pasadena when we moved there. William introduced himself quickly. Since my wife went to massage therapy school here in TN, there was an immediate bond for both of us, with William.
I had class in the evening so I would study in the library from morning till evening, then I went to class from 6-9:00. Rita would sit and wait in the library till I was done.
Often after these evening classes I would come down to the library and William would be talking with Rita. Or after his 3:00 class we would see him and visit for a while. I was so thankful for his encouragement and appreciate his friendship. I know what it is like after class, you are tired and ready to go. He would take time to visit and talk and let you know that you could make it through.
He would sit in the library and talk with both of us when the opportunity was available. He never seemed like he was in a hurry to get away from you.
When he was in student clinic I would go to him to get adjusted, he was excellent at both soft tissue work and adjusting. I also took some of these same classes because I know the benefits, probably from his influence. Rita reminded me he was the very first person to put her shoulder in place.
He had a great sense of humor, I loved keeping up with William on Facebook, he had some of the funniest post, comments or observations. He will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
We both are in shock. I thank God for the friends that helped me get through school, William was one of those that was always available to help. I feel that I have lost a great friend even though we are so far away. My deepest condolences.
