William "Bill" Friday

I was very sadden to see that President Friday had passed away. He lived a great productive wonderful life serving North Carolinian's and the students he loved. He was a man of great faith and I know he is at peace with our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. I thank God for his dedication throughout his life to others. God bless.

My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. May the God of all comfort grant you peace during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to the family on the loss of your loved one...In time, as your heart heals, you will find comfort and peace in the memories you have to cherish.(James 4:8)

I was blessed to have met Bill Friday in person during 2007 and 2008, when he presented his thoughts on leadership development for our Agency. (Prior to these meetings, I had always watched his show in complete awe of how he made people feel secure and at ease --even those he disagreed with!) For a small framed man walking with a cane, he had such a BIG smile and presence about himself. As he spoke, his disposition made it to where by the end of the presentation, you would think he was...

Dear Mary,
Jack and I send you, your Mother and your sister our deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear Father. We trust that our prayers will be of some comfort as you celebrate his great life. Love,Jean Miller
