William S. "Bill" Holden

I remember the first time I met Bill, it was at Hollywood Entertainment and we sat next to each other, he started a couple of weeks before me. We didn't see eye to eye at first but we both came around and became close after realizing that each of us took our work seriously. I admire him for his strength and attitude up until the end. I would have loved to hear him play the piano as he talked about his love of it. You will always be in my thoughts.

Bill was a wonderful cousin, he always had time for his younger cousins visiting in the summer and holidays. There are so many memories to treasure. I admire his courage and strength in fighting for each day. I know he's surrounded by our loved ones who've gone before him to Heaven. I am sure that while we cried tears of sorrow that he had to leave us, they were shouting with joy at his arrival.

I will always treasure the times we spent together as kids in McCall and Caldwell. I am sure you are being received with great big hugs in Heaven!

I met Bill a number of years ago after moving to Portland and becoming part of the recovery community. I loved Bill's sense of humor and admired his strength. He will be truly missed. May God be with him and his family.

I just met Bill a month ago when he moved into Calaroga Terrace. I was so impressed with his calmness, warmth and positive attitude. He quickly made a number of friends at Calaroga and in his short tenure with us, left a permanent positive mark. He will be greatly missed.. Maureen Taylor

I know Bill is playing God's piano beautifully and with great musicianship. He loved to play and always expressed deep emotion when he was seated at the piano. He will forever be in my heart and i will miss him always.

I worked with Bill at a tribal organization in Portland. You could always depend on him, whether it was coming to work, meeting his deadlines, or just helping out. He was a good person and I feel privileged to have known him. Our condolences to his family.

WE MET BILL 30 YEARS AGO WHEN WE FIRST VISITED BERNARD AND BETH. BILL WAS SO GOOD WITH OUR TWO BOYS WHO THEN WERE AGED 4 AND 7. HE WILL BE SADLY MISSED BY ALL OF YOU SO OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU
