I knew Bill from the gym. He was a nice guy and I will miss giving each other a bad time. Take time and remember all the great memories. He will be missed.

If this is the Bill Barham that did family research on the 'Barham's' I am sad to see his departure without ever being able to meet him or speak with him. He was my 3rd cousin if his father was Harley L. Barham of Riverside, Ca., son of Homer Lee and Rose Barham, also of Riverside, Ca. I got lots of good info from his postings. RIP Bill and Condolences to the Family. (there are Memorials on 'Find A Grave'.com for his Father and Grandparents & other family members)

I was bill's next door neighbor during his last years. As friendly and cooperative a neighbor as him would be hard to find. I'll truly miss him. .......Patrick Sullivan

I was so sad to hear of Bill's passing. He and Maryann have been friends of mine since grade school. We visited often when I was in Seattle. I will certainly miss his laugh. My heart goes out to his family. RIP, Bill.
