It has been my privilege to work with Bill for about 5 years now, and in that time I have grown as a person, a professional, and a technologist through his influence. Bill's unwavering commitment to customers, tireless work ethic, and keen technological insights have guided the footsteps of the applications we've worked on together past many, many obstacles. Although we have had our differences and spirited discussions, I never once had any doubt that my relationship or friendship with Bill had been damaged. Bill's courage to argue for what he believes is right is one of his greatest strengths.
Bill, no one can do justice to the contributions you've made to this company over your many, many years. First and foremost, thank you for the effort, the sacrifices, and the talent that you allowed us in your time here.
Secondly, I wish you all the best in your retirement, which I'm sure will be little more than a "timeout" between pursuits. The golf course groundskeepers with low supplies of replacement sod will be especially glad to see you rejoin the workforce. That said, I hope you get some time to relax and recharge.
Thirdly, I wish you all the best in your future endeavors, and I hope that you will always keep in touch. Any company that lands you would be wise to take full advantage of the knowledge and skill that you offer.
Finally, I will personally miss your talents and your friendship, as I know others will. Take good care of yourself, and as always, "May the Force be with you."
With my most sincere appreciation and respect,
Rich Barnett
