Sad news, When I was just showing an interest in playing music, I used to bug him at CYO Mixers all the time asking questions about bands and amps and playing. He never discouraged me and often showed me how stuff worked. I often credit him for helping me become a musician of sorts. He was a good guy. My condolences to the family. Brian, I'm really sorry man.

I was asked to play a party with Christine & Tony. The gig was absolutely wonderful. It's where I first met Bill & his wonderful family, and because of Bill & his family it was a loving and magical day. My deepest condolences. Joe Mele

Donna, Bill will be missed by all who had the pleasure of working with him. I enjoyed his take on life & work; he had a unique way of seeing things with a great deal of humor. God bless.

While I never had the chance to meet Bill in person, I did have the pleasure of working on one of the songs he wrote entitled "I'm Happy". It is one of my favorites songs and I had a great time working on it in the studio. I wish I could have discussed my appreciation of this with Bill in person, but either way, my impression remains the same. I give my condolences to his family. Bill will most certainly be missed.

Our friendship was short in years, new to us both; We shared many dear friends and family and a love and partnership in the creation of music that will see its completion and living memorium to a dear friend in Bill. We, my family and myself, send our love to you Donna and the rest of the family. Please know that you are in our prayers and always here if you need anything at all. Love, Tony and Karen

I will miss you with every passing day
I will never understand why you couldn't stay
Though God takes us , like a thief in the night
Us left behind our memories will keep you in sight
So I say farewell for now, to my brother & friend
For someday , we'll meet again
Until then ...
Go rest high on that mountain .... son your work on earth is done ... go to Heaven a shouting ... Love for the Father & the Son
