WILLIAM COTTRELL Jr.

I feared that Bill was dead when we didn't get our usual newsy Christmas card last year. I finally got up the courage to look him up. We met Bill and Gretchen in Boulder City in 1966 where, Charles was the rector of St Christopher's Episcopal Church and I began a preschool which Richard and Sheila attended. We remained long distance friends all these years! God's Blessing on you all. Amanda and Charles Rines

Almost 37 years ago I lived with and was cared for by Bill and Gretchen Cottrell as a foreign exchange student.As many already know they were good and kind people who treated me as one of their own for the 5 months I was there. I am blessed to have known them and still be in contact with their children. I like so many others will miss the annual newsletter and Christmas card that always felt like a special gift. Thank you both for the difference you made in this Kiwi kid's life. May you...

I met Bill Cottrell Jr. at a Boulder City RPEN meeting a few years ago. He was an active member of Rpen and I always enjoyed his company at the meetings. My deepest sympathy goes out to hos family.

Thanks to everyone who commented here, especially Gus and Diane. I know your names and I know I have met you. Dad was one-of-a-kind and your friendship - along with everyone he ever met - was important to him. Thanks again; long life and peace to you all.

To the Cottrell Family,
Bill was my boss for many years at the Clark County Housing Authority. I remained friends with Bill and Gretchen over the years. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers to all of you. He will be missed.

I met Mr. C when I went to work at the Housing Authority of the County of Clark in 1994. He was a strong agency leader but also Had the ability to make you smile.

We shared something in common - his coffee mug and mine were brown inside.
My thought are with his family.

I met Mr. C in 1994 when I went to work for the Housing Authority of the County of CLark.
I enjoyed working for him. After his retirement he would drop in occassisonally and never forgot to say hello.

WE had one thing in common that no one else in the agency had - His coffee cup was as brown inside as mine was.
