Not sure what to say?

Rest in peace. Thank you for all you have done for me. I will never forget you.

Bill was a treasure and a pleasure. I will sorely miss him and send my prayers to his family in their time of sorrow and celebration of his life.

I met Bill a couple of times at conferences and very much enjoyed working with him on the Globalization Handbooks for .NET. He was always the passionate, but good natured advocate for the international user. He will be missed greatly. My condolences to his family.

My condolences as well to Bill's family. Always appreciated our few conversations at conferences. As was said, he will be missed both by family, and by the i18n industry.

A great guy, a learned man, and an inspiration to so many in the I18n world. Ar dheis de do raibh a anam.

Bill was both fun and interesting---a great combination. I'll miss him.

Too sad to hear that such a great professional has left us but our prayers go to his family and closest friends.

I "met" Bill when we published a brilliant article by him in the Ccaps Newsletter about Resources in Microsoft .NET for which he had promised a follow up. I hope that when we "meet" again he will have worked on that sequel... =)

May he rest in peace and find out how to internationalize heaven.

Bill worked at my company for a few years, as an employee and consultant, in the mid-1990s.

We admired his intelligence, gentle personality and desire (and ability) to help.

He was a remarkable man.

On behalf of SimulTrans, we extend our sincere condolences to his family, both close and extended.

I had the opportunity to go on couple of sales calls with Bill. I was in awe at his knowledge and eloquence in front of clients.

Bill, you will be missed.
