I really wish I had learned of Bill's passing sooner. Sadly, I didn't find out until now, over a year later. There was a period of time, Bill and I were real tight. We would have done anything for each other, and hate that I'm going to miss him. I would like to offer my deepest sympathies to his family. Bill was a great guy, talented lawyer, and respected friend. Rest in Peace, my man. - Joey

To the members of Bill's family I wanted to express my sincere condolences for your loss. I knew Bill when I served as the Officer in Charge of the Charleston Federal Probation Office through which we had frequent contact. Bill was always a pleasure to deal with and was obviously a dedicated and honorable counsel for his clients. I hope your wealth of joyful memories provide you comfort allowing time for your hearts to heal. God bless you all.

Cindie:

I know there are no words that anyone can say to give you peace during this time. Just know that you, Mary Beth and William are in my thoughts and prayers.

And because I know it would make Bill smile and laugh, I will keep "the list" running.

Sending light and love to you all.

I have great memories of law school and dumb text messages throughout the years that made me laugh till I cried. You took me to my first sushi dinner....the money that cost me in years to come! Remembering your beat up BMW and going to your sisters wedding in Charleston. I had no idea it was appetizers only. You were by far one of funniest persons I have ever known. I will miss you buddy. You left us too soon. Rest In Peace Billy. Your yankee bud.

Bill started off being just the silly little brother of my elementary school classmate Tracy. After we all "grew up", I learned to rely on him for legal advice & hired him on several occasions. Bill was an honest, ethical and straightforward attorney. He was a true caring friend who, on more than one occasion, in his kind yet serious tone, had no problem telling me things that I necessarily didn't want to hear. Billy will be missed by so many! I am praying for the Thrower family during this time.

A pity that sometimes it takes untimely passings to prompt good memories from decades ago. I did not know Bill Thrower but I remember Billy Thrower, a talented 8th grader and teammate on College Prep's 1977 tennis team; his brother Ken, classmate and friend in my junior high days; their mom Harriet, a sweet lady who oversaw College Prep's first tennis team in the spring of '75. To Bill's wife Cindie, to siblings Ken and Tracy, and to Harriet Thrower my deepest sympathies to you all.

Spent my career in the court system, Bill Thrower was a true gentleman attorney, with a knowledge of the law and he helped many people with his ethical standards and with dignity. Not many like him! So sorry for your loss. With deep respect,

May you be comforted by knowing you are in the thoughts and prayers of the many people Bill touched with his kindness, genuineness and love of life. I am the better for having been his friend and colleague, and the lesser, now that he is gone. God Bless you all.

To the entire Thrower family, I wish to express my sincere condolences. Bill was a friend of 25 years. I met him as a law enforcement officer and after my retirement, I had the opportunity to do some work for him. May he rest in eternal peace.

Cynthia and Children, I am so sorry for your lose. Bill was a gentleman and just a downright good man. I first met him when prosecuting and he was defending. I quickly found we had more in common then just law. I'm an old marine and former cop in NY and he told me he had been an N.I.S agent. When ever we saw each other we made sure we would find time to talk, I always looked forward to seeing him in the halls of the court house. I am writing this instead of coming to the service Thursday since I am no longer ambulatory. Please know he was a great man I wish you the very best and Bill will never be forgotten.

We have lost a great father, husband, attorney and friend. Bill came to my shop in 1991 when his brother Ken, a BMW tech left Rick Hendrick and moved to Atlanta. His brother referred him to me and my brother Martin and I have worked on everything hes driven throughout the years. Even my sons that werent even born back then have worked on his cars. I went to his wedding and watched his family grow as he watched mine.
Ive been praying for days for Gods will to be done whether we agree with it or not. Rest In Peace my friend and Ill keep taking care of your family as I have been for the last 28 years.
