We used to call Bill, "Slink", due to his height and his long striding way of walking. Even though I hadn´t seen Bill in many years, we were all very close friends in the late 70s & 80s. We saw a lot of music together, including a jazz show at the Station that was being recorded as the two day´s featured Dizzy Gillespie, Dave Brubeck, Gerry Mulligan & Herbie Mann. We truly had great times together, and yes there was some fun being had in those days! I´d like to express my most sincere condolences to Mary, all Bill´s sisters, and of course to his wife Cynthia and son Clifford E. I´m so glad that Bill continued his art work, as he was a true artist. So, my old friend William T, ( as he was called by Dr. Talarsky in our class at Lccc ), I hope your palette is now filled with the most brilliant colors that your heart ever dreamed of
