William H. "Bill" Hurley

I am deeply saddened that Pat, hers and Bill's family have "lost Bill." I know Pat and Bill lived a very full and wonderful life for the few years they had together. Bill, you lived life to the fullest. Bill is in heaven. God be with all of you at this sad time.

Pat-1st UU feels different without Bill's presence. You have our heartfelt sympathy. Deborah and Gary

We will miss you, Bill, at Chautauqua. Thank you for leaving us your wonderful poems and an example of a life well lived.

Had we matched a loving best friend and husband for our very special and talented cousin Pat, Bill would have been the man. We deeply regret that we do not have more years to know him better. Our sincerest condolences to Pat and members of both families...

My heartfelt condolences to you, Pat and Sarah. I hope you can feel the love of so many and that gives you comfort in this difficult time. I will keep you in my prayers.

I'll never forget the time I made myself come over and sit with Bill Hurley and introduce myself. I'm ordinarily too shy to do that but something pulled me. Today I would call that synchronicity. I had recently met Pat, his new wife, before, and was happy to get to know him more. Since then I've listened to his poetry, his time at the front of the worship center during service, and even in his (and her) kitchen chatting. Bill was an extraordinary man, and I'm sure his strong spirit...

So glad to have had the chance to spend time with Bill this summer while we were in Columbus.

I had such a nice time having lunch and catching up with Bill during the last reunion. He lived just around the corner from me growing up. He tried to teach me how to play the accordion in the 4th grade! He had a vision and knew what he wanted to be. I believe he got there. Rest in peace Bill.

We've lost a great friend and colleague. He is sorely missed by me and the rest of the Columbus Astronomical Society. Our thoughts and prayers to Pat and the rest of the family.
