My Bill and Bill were classmates at Muncie Central High School n 1956. When I went to a knitting gathering in Little Switzerland we visited Bill and Judy He took us to the Orchard. Another visit with grandchildren, Judy showed and explained about her bees. After lovely and warm Judy died, we always visited Bill. Several times we stayed in his home above the clouds. With our friend Ursula who loves near Little Switzerland we even went dancing together. I will always remember Bill´ grin...

The summer of 2023 my best friend and I had an amazing visit with Bill on the back deck. He told us all kinds of stories. I will never forget him!

Remembering Bill and Judy, dear friends BC=Before Children back to 1964 when we lived on the same street in Huntsville Alabama. We remained friends as they and we moved around. Dear loving and giving friends along our journey. Peace, blessings, and love to the family, especially dear Jill.

Bill and Judy were kind and caring people who shared themselves fully. Peace be with you, Bill.

I went to the Orchard to present Bill with the Esse Quam Videri Award as he wasn't able to receive it at the luncheon where he was celebrated. It was also a great chance for my family to spend some time at the Orchard. Bill was in the parking lot helping people to park cars when we arrived. We spoke for a bit and I gave him the ceramic statuette. Then my family and I went off into the orchard, had a bite to eat, picked some apples and listened to some music. Hours later, when we went to...

I got to know Bill and Judy when I bought a home on High Ridge Road in Little Switzerland in 1988. They were my neighbors and my mom, Betsy Thomas, and I would see them often while walking in our neighborhood and at the Orchard. Bill will be missed and it was an honor to know him.

I first met Bill and his stories while on a homeschool student trip. His stories and the orchard are very special to me. He passed way the day after my mother, another amazing octogenarian story teller.
