Bill Erwin

To my sweet “Arthur,” I am quite late posting this but it is heartfelt nonetheless. A huge thank you for your life and career and for sharing your talents with us. “Somewhere in Time” is such a favorite of mine and one I visit again and again. Your portrayal of Arthur was so warm and sweet and added so much to the film. Over the years I enjoyed seeing photos people would post of the yearly movie-themed gatherings at the Grand Hotel and I saw pictures of you there. I’m sure those times...

Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

Rest William, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.

We so enjoyed getting to meet Bill and his family when they made trips to the old Erwin hometown of Honey Grove, TX. We descend from the same pioneer ancestor, Samuel Augustus Erwin.

Our favorite Mark Twain. Talking with Bill always resulted in leaving a bright spot in our day. Bob and Mickey Borek.

I also had the pleasure to mett Mr. Erwin at the Somewhere in Time weekend in Chicago. He was so gracious and truly seemed to enjoy himself and signing autographs and taking pictures with all of us SIT "groupies". Rest in peace now!

My wife and I met Bill and his wife in a restaurant in Mt Carroll, Illinois when he was doing the movie Hard Knox with Robert Conrad and Red West. Bill did not like all of the attention an actor received. We went on a quick tour of Mt Carroll and then went to Clinton, Iowa to see the sites. He said that he appreciated the fact that I introduced him as my friend. His memory will live on with his actiing career. God bless, Tom Florence, Des Moines, Iowa

Mr. Erwin will be missed by many fans.. May GOD bless his family & friends in this time of sorrow..He may be gone but will never be forgotten..

He was great. I loved the grumpy old man. I want to aspire to that.
