Not sure what to say?

Bill was a great friend to me when I really needed one. We taught at Broad Street School for 10 years. We attended Jackie Heichman´s wedding together. He was a kind and great friend. My deepest condolences to his family.

Bill was an amazing and kind man. I'm happy I was able to meet him several times on the Mo. His family and friends are in my prayers as you walk through this valley. With love from Delaware.

What a loss blessed to have grown up with him and his family and my love of the diner. I loved living in Bolton Landing and all that he did for the town My heart goes out to his family. He will be missed. Sincerely Barbara Goldberg Brumer and Allan

Bill was my 6th grade teacher and my favorite of all. He inspired me to play guitar when he brought his in and performed for the class. He was such a great man and will be missed. Thanks for the inspiration Mr. Gates!
