I was so shocked and saddened by this news. I new Billy through Twitter and email and we met in Atlanta at one of his live presentations. He was tremendously talented, generous, and gracious. My deepest sympathies for this tragic loss.

I too met Billy multiple times through the Jenn-Air Design Advisory Council. While they were brief visits, in the grand scheme of things-at very unimportant meetings, our lives have been enriched by having known him. To his family and friends I hope your heart and soul find peace and comfort.

Although meeting him only once for the Jenn-Air Program last week with Ellen Cheever, I came away with the innovation, and the sincere desire to make a difference Acknowlging him briefly, his humility was evident. We were blessed, even for just a short time. May your family and friends say that His LIfe was Full, eventhough your time of grief is shockingly too soon. I can only send prayers and shared sorrow.
