Bill Hope Obituary

Bill Hope

Bill Hope died on Sunday, December 16, 2012 in the comfort of his home with his life partner, Patrice Perkins. He succumbed to complications of heart failure at the age of 61. Bill was a Seattle businessman and Washington native. Bill attended St. Michael's University School in Victoria, B.C, and Pacific Lutheran University. He loved his cats, and he loved Patrice for 32 years. Bill always had a smile on his face. His sense of humor was contagious; his friendship was constant. He left us too soon. He was one of a kind and will be missed by all who knew him. In Bill's memory, donations may be made to the Institute of Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, University of Washington, 850 Republican Street, Room 453, Brotman Building, Seattle, WA 98109. A celebration of Bill's life will be held at a future date. For details, see Bill's obituary at www.bartonfuneral.com.

I´m happy we stepped into each other´s lives. You helped complete a circle that had been broken for far too long. But I was never prepared for both my mom and my uncle to step out of my circle far too soon. You are thought of and remembered with a smile. I know you helped complete my mom´s life. She finally felt like she belonged. Thank you for your kindness. You will never be forgotten. With love, Sherri and Homer Fosdick

My condolences to the family. We all look forward to the time when the bible says "No one will say I am sick" (Isaiah33:24).
