WILLIAM ANDRIDGE

I met Bill at Nave's Saloon where I bartended for he and the gang. You know who you all are. He was Postman Bill back then. Over all these years it did not matter what or where the circumstances were, we greated each other as Guillermo (Bill in spanish). We could be an isle away in a grocery store or across a parking lot and we would both holler loudly, "Guillermo", to each other with everybody around us looking baffled. We did not care about their awkward glances at us. I'm going to miss...

Bill first appeared in my life in the late 1980s when we worked as loan reps for what was then Coast Federal Savings on 4th Street in San Rafael. Bill would pull his enormous suicide door Lincoln into the lot promptly at 8am and the whole building would shake as he tried for a few minutes to fit it into a parking space half its size. His desk in that office like most of his offices was a home away from home. Complete with the dark red leather chair and an assortment of duck decoys, Bill made...

Dear Bill, Just a simple thank you for being you. You will be missed. :) Pam Nowell, Mc Kinleyville, California.

For all you thoughtful folks who sent along a message about Bill here's some info about his celebration: 12/11, from 2p.m.-5p.m.@ the Sleepy Hollow Club on Butterfield Rd. There will some finger foods, wine, beer, coffee,etc. Hopefully we'll have a nice slide show and a whole bunch of pictures of our dear friend. We hope to see you there.

What a wonderful man Bill was I feel honored and blessed to have had the pleasure to serve him as a customer of mine. When I read of his passing I felt a heavy heart as I realized what a truely wonderful man has physically left us. I will cherish my memories of Bill coming in my line. My thoughts are with the family and if there is anything that I could do for his memorial I would be honored to help.

Beel, So sorry you're no longer with us. We had some great times in the 70's and 80's. I hadn't seen you lately but knew of your success. You were a generous man and a fine friend.

Bill was a very dear man indeed and he will be greatly missed. Though I had not seen him in many years, he was a special soul and a completely authentic person. Raylene (Carter) Groth
