Bill, you were a good friend for over 50 years. I will miss you and especially our E-mail contact over the recent years.

Bill was a great friend and I will miss him. Most people will never know how much Bill did for Juneau/Douglas, the state workers and the Police @Fire services. Bill thanks for being my friend it was great.

Bill, So sorry for your loss. Jackie and Mike Knauss.

Please accept my condolences, I knew Sen. Ray from my days at the City Café and waited on Sen. Ray and family, my step father was Gim Taguchi,He was a regular who was known by everybody and knew so many by their first name including myself, I can remember Sen,Ray and Gov,Egan being in our place at the same time. And it was awesome, you don't see that anywhere except in Alaska, And can remember Sen. Ray an Sam talking sports, that was a common subject in our place, either sports or politics...

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Farewell to my old pal Bill. We had some great debates and some great laughs. He did a tremendous job for Juneau and Alaska and will be long remembered. I will miss the email arguments and the humor.
My condolences to Nancy, and the family.
