Bill Montee Opie

Sylma,We were so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. I am still in Rotary here in Rancho Bernardo and I announced the sad news to the club. We have always been so grateful for your gift to our foundation and have given many scholarships to deserving students. Bill was a good friend and we missed you both when you moved. I hope you are well and please know that you have our deepest sympathies.

To Selma and family -
I was so saddened to open my local Rancho Bernardo paper today and read an obituary notice on Bill Opie.

I really liked him and admired his dedication to his profession. He was our REALTOR that showed us around the North County when my husband, Joe and I first came to visit San Diego.

It has been a number of years since Bill was active in San Diego Real Estate, but he had a major impact when he was. I sometimes think of the days when San Diego County had 11 Associations of REALTORS and an MLS in San Diego, El Cajon, South Bay, San Diegito...plus smaller MLSs in La Jolla, Point Loma, and Coronado...each with its own lock boxes. In the late 1980s, Bill was a force behind the creation of a countywide lock box system for San Diego County, and he was instrumental in the...

I will and I do miss another life dear to me. A fine man I wish I had been closer to in our early years to gether. Bless him. So sorry.
