My deepest sympathies to you and your family in your loss. I met Bill and Twila years ago at Church and saw how they lived their lives as Christ would have us all do.
I admired his thoughtful letters to the Editor of the Star.

Sue, Thank you for sending the sites about your Dad. I remember him and your mother so well from Y-camps. What wonderful memories. I also remember looking up to your and wanting to help you with the kids at day camps and up at Y-Camp. I had a few opportunities to visit with your folks in the late 90's at the Methodist Church in Camarillo when mom was involved in Ventura County Council of Churches. I know you've devoted your life these past several years to your parents. What a tribute...

Dear Sue,
Our condolences on the loss of your Dad. We send you our love; know that our hearts and thoughts are with you. We met your Dad at his 100th birthday party where he gave away so many books on Democracy, Peace, and Saving our Environment. We took a few and will always think of him when we read them again.

Dear Sue - I surely will miss Bill. He and Twila were among the first people Lew and I met at church and we had lunch out with them frequently after the services. Later I got to know Bill much better, went on several Go-See-Ask tours, joined FOR and admired the work he did for Peace. He was a force to be reckoned with, a man who made a mark for himself in so many ways. I always considered him a friend and someone to emulate. He had a long and interesting life and, blessedly, did not...
