Both interested and interesting: Bill Wood remembered at state funeral

“I got to know a kind and gentle person, a man who desperately loved his family, a man of strong views and beliefs, a man of enormous integrity, a man who loved to be busy, a man known for his short, sharp, sometimes blunt, answers and speeches, a man who deplored time wasting and long speeches. A man who is both interested and interesting – and always, always punctual,” Senator Gallagher said.
