I too was fotunate also to have had Bill Nesbitt in my life. We both served together as police officers in DC then together again as Managers for TSA at Dulles International Airport.
Bill was one of the kindest and most plesant persons you could have on or off the job. He often talked about his Children and late wife Vivian. It was clear he loved them very much and missed Vivian. I am a better person for knowing Bill and having him to work with in two careers together. I miss him very much.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Bill’s passing. He was truly one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. As a dedicated DC Metropolitan Police Officer, Sergeant, and later a respected manager at TSA, Bill served with integrity, humility, and unwavering commitment.
What I will remember most is his gentle spirit and the goodness he brought into every interaction. Bill always did the right thing, even when no one was watching. His devotion to his wife during her long health struggles was a beautiful testament to his strength of character and the depth of his compassion.
Bill was a remarkable man, a caring friend, and someone who made the world better simply by being in it. He will be deeply missed. My heartfelt condolences to his family and to everyone who loved him.
