I did not know Bill personally, however he was a cousin to my late father, Clarence Chandler Spier whose father was Robert Arthur Spier. Our family moved from Morrilton, Arkansas to California in 1952. I'm sorry to hear of his passing and send my love and condolences to all the family in Arkansas.

My best friend for 21 years, I have a ton of memories of Bill and I, and I am going to miss him like crazy. He was my 2nd dad and took care of me when I needed him. Was there for me with my kids and my family. Im going to miss visiting with him and talking to him on the phone about anything and everything. He will always be a part of my life and I will never forget him. Love you Bill and miss you so much.
