Monica, I am so sorry for your loss of Bill, we were good friends growing up and thru school. I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ give you peace during this trying time. Elgin

What a wonderful man Bill was, he always brought a smile to everyone's face. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

I had no idea Bill had died until I found his obit today. We went through school together, from first grade until I left Ruston in 1957. His passing leaves m with a large opening in my heart.

I took a hilly bike ride from pojoaque to chimayo in honor of Bill yesterday. He likely rode that way more than once, and 10 times longer than I could. No one can accuse Bill of living less than an exquisite life.

As an ALSB member, I was fortunate enough to get to know Bill. Such a kind, respectful man. What a wonderful sense of humor!

We were all very fond of Bill. I am so very sorry for your loss. He will be missed very much by both your family and our "ALSB" family.

Time does heal...but it takes a long time.

Your family is in my prayers.

Monica and Kids- So sad to hear! Billy was a friend and colleague who really helped me when I needed it most. A lovely man with a great heart and like no other! Mark and Nora Baker

A uniquely fabulous man who will be missed by friends and family alike. The world is a little less interesting without Bill in it.
