When I first joined NVPS, it was Bill who encouraged me to enter competitions and showed me the ropes. After one of my entries was judged, Bill suggested an improvement and taught me how to burn and dodge using a 50% gray soft light layer. When I look at that image today, I think of him and the improvement he suggested. It is an artsy image of my chorus director's hands and has been sold and used by that chorus in many ways.
I am so sorry to have missed his memorial service but hope that he knows how much he was respected, not only as a good and creative photographer, but as a teacher to many who benefitted from his experience and giving attitude. He will definitely be missed.

We were members of the 1955 Hagerstown High School graduating class. I remember that he and Bill Van Ostrand and I, along with others, "hung out" at Doc's drug store. We played pinball and drank cokes. We were both Explorer Scouts and members of the local Army Reserve Unit. I have always admired Bill's attitude during those days. He treated everyone in the same way regardless of their social position. Many in our class, including me, were not at the same social level as Bill. I will miss him at the next class reunion. My prayers are with all the family.

I remember Bill from my high school days in Hagerstown, IN. We were in the Explorer Scouts and Army Reserve together. I also thought highly of him. Sorry for your loss.

I have spent time with Bill and Ann at their home and with his family. He was always warm and welcoming to my family. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I reported to Bill in the summer of 1983 as an intern at the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services, in Southwest D.C. He made a lasting impression on me. My thoughts & prayers are with the Prosser family.
