Mr. William was an amazing kind and gentle soul. I attended BBBS inn1972. It was there I came to love him, Marlene, and Don. Great recollections from Mr. Williams's stories of his paratrooper experiences. God Bless all of his family and may you rest in peace Mr. William, you deserve the best.

We couldn't have asked for better neighbors at the Bay with Bill & Marlene. We miss Marlene with her beautiful garden and leaning over the upper deck talking and laughing. Bill always had a story that he shared about his amazing life, various careers & travel experiences. He put up a good fight but know he is reunited with Marlene and the rest of his family who predeceased him. With sympathy to Rick, Diane, Dan and Karen and all the children & grandchildren. Jimmy & Dan, you did an...

Bill Brassfield was a wonderful man. When I attended Bellingham Beauty School in the eighties. He was so encouraging that it helped me a lot with my shyness. He was a great teacher, and I hope I made him proud with passing my State Board the first time. He was also the first person to congratulated me. I will never forget the smile on his face that day when he shook my hand. You will be missed Mr. Brassfield.

Bill's passing is a great loss to many, he and Marlene touched so very many lives and gave us direction and a career path which I for one have stayed on for over 40 years. Bill, living at Birch Bay was almost my neighbor and I would stop by randomly to see him and check in, Bill was always so happy and gracious and has forever left an imprint on my heart. So many wonderful memories with Bill and Marlene, they were the dynamic duo, and inspiration and wonderful mentors. Don Hansen also had a...

One of the "good guys"! Glad I got to know him briefly at Kelstrup Realtors.

I´m so sorry to hear of the profound loss of Bill. He was WONDERFUL. So was Marlene. I was privileged to have been taught by them at B´ham Beauty School. It was such a great experience as they and Don Hansen were so knowledgeable, kind and fun. Bill and Marlene were a solid team and I considered them personal friends. We lost touch when I moved from the Bay. I´m honored to have known them. I know it´s a big loss to your family and I´m very sorry for that. They were loved. Blessings, Marcia...

He was my Beauty School teacher in 1975. Bill was always so kind with a cute smile. I also worked for him and Marlene at the Head Shed. May he rest in peace.
