I will never forget the excellent and good times we had together. There's not a day that I go without thinking about my brilliant, kind, and gentle father who had the same silly sense of humor that I do. I would love to talk to some of the people on here who said that they knew him. I'm Dacia Gill in Flower Mound, Texas if you want to look me up. I'd love to reminisce about him.

Dr. William C Claycomb was a good, gentle, and humble man, who selflessly contributed to the understanding and betterment of human life through medical science. May his genius and kindness live on through all who knew him.

My time spent working in his lab will always hold fond memories. Especially his love of nature...rehabilitating birds raising bees, and the box turtle he gave me...a sad loss for sure.

Bill, I am relieved the suffering is over. I do miss our scientific discussions involving dogs. Rest in peace, my friend.
