We have lost one of our own, one of the greats – we are so saddened by the loss of our Executive Chairman of the Board, Bill Walton.   Though many enjoyed his larger-than-life personality, legendary athletic skill and generous spirit, we were the fortunate group who benefited from his time and presence, as Bill served as the champion and cornerstone of SDSI for more than a decade. He took on the role as Chairman in a completely volunteer capacity; we experienced first-hand the depths of Bill’s generosity. He was always the first to defer his successes to the influence of the great minds he’d encountered in his life, and he worked actively (and oh so humbly) to give back, pay it forward, and continue to remind us all how lucky we are to be here, in this life, in this industry and in San Diego.   We know he’s touched so many with his ability to ask excellent questions and make everyone feel like a friend - we never understood how he could remember so many names.  Knowing Bill the way we did, we know he wouldn’t want us to make a big fuss about him, but he was a big deal to us, so we’ll keep moving forward and working hard to support this space Bill loved - always keeping an eye to how we can further his legacy and honor all he’s given to us.   We miss you already Bill   The SDSI Team
