So sorry to hear of Bill's passing... But to a greater place than we know.
He was such a gentleman who would make everyone feel so special at the dog shows. It was obvious he loved what he did.... And it really doesnt get any better than that here on earth. I hope you are running with the big dogs in heaven Bill...you certainly deserve the best.

Bill was one of my all time dog show friends. He was introduced to me by Barb and Val Smith back in the late 80's. We saw each other at the shows which could be months apart but we would always pick up right where we left off. He was a great man and I have missed him and will continue to do so. My condolences to his family and his friends. Bill may you now rest in peace.

On behalf of myself, Virginia Dorris & Kay Peiser, our sincerest condolences on the loss of Bill. Looking back on all the years, there was never a time we received a bad Meyers photo. Bill guided his team to greatness and the dog community has truly lost a wonderful man. Godspeed Bill- and may the Meyers family be lifted up high by all of us who cared so much for this amazing man.
