Just heard of Bill,s passing and we are very sad. Our fond memories of Bill go back to the mid 50's, Stave, skiing in Stowe, etc. I a word he was a great guy!!

Bill was my best friend ... I miss him now and will miss him for the rest of my life.

Dawn,
We were very much saddened at the news of Bill's passing. An icon and mentor in all of our lives.We all felt like his children and knew if we asked, he would have a word of wisdom and advice. How he loved Stave Island and sharing it with his family and friends. My memories of Stave Island weekends with Bill riding the golf cart full of kids,hiding money in the trees and enjoyng every minute will be everlasting in my memories. I pray for peace,healing and loving memories to you and...

Dear Dawn,
Tom and I and the girls are so sorry to hear of Bill's death. I guess we all thought this great and unusual man would go on forever. His spirit and zest for life was infectious and will live on in all who's lives he touched. We know what a huge part of his life you were and what this loss must be for you and the rest of the family. We are thinking about you all in this difficult time. He will be greatly missed.....
Love Cindy Kleeman and Tom Zickell
