To Jan and the Billings Family: I am so sorry for your loss. I also was with A.Y. in Los Angeles in the late 70s through the 80s and remember Bob well. I loved his sense of humor. Whether he realized it or not, he was a great mentor to the audit side of the business, too. I always thought of him as a talented maverick -- unique among so many talented professionals. When I think of him and his humor, a smile just appears on my face.

To the Billings Family,
I was lucky enough as a young consultant to work with Bill at Arthur Young. I loved his approach for billing his clients once a year based on the value he thought he had provided them. He was a larger than life "partner" at the firm and I consider myself lucky to have been able to work with him and get a little insight into Bob's way of thinking.
My thoughts are with your family.

I was a colleague of Bob at Arthur Young in the 1960's and he and I often handled Acoounting and Tax matters for clients. It was always a great pleasure for me to meet him at the Alumni functions when we could renew our friendship. I have missed him at recent Alumni functions probably because he had moved to the desert. My condolences to the Billings family. He was a great mentor. and I thank him for that.
