Marion and Family,
I worked with Bill at Laclede Gas Company. He was always a delight to be with. We spend time in Michigan and I recall his dedication to photographing and writing about the beautiful light houses which dot the Great Lake shores. I've seen some of them and his work has enshrined them in our memory.
Marion, as you know I was at the Bopp Chapel to look in on John Olson, a friend being waked there on the very day of Bill's wake. I'm so pleased that God gave me the unexpected opportunity to spend a moment with Bill as well.
Jerry McNeive, Webster Groves, Mo.

I remember with smiles the lunches a group of us would have at Papa Fabarre's downtown nearly everyday about 30 years ago. Bill was a warm, funny, smart and engaging guy, whom everyone enjoyed. He will be missed
