William Joseph Leist

It's never good to hear that a loved one has passed. I didn't hear about it until sometime later and did not get to make it to the funeral. i couldn't have asked for a better uncle. you will be missed and i love ya buddy.

Bill, You changed our lives for the better.In sadness,you are already missed-if I could only say what you would want me to...Peace be with you my brother...

XBill thanks for the good times. It's been awhile since we have seen each other but thank you for introducing me to music .

Bill -- thank you for everything. Thanks for giving my band a chance to play at the Jockey Club. Thanks for inviting me on to your radio show to pitch our record. Thanks for creating such a wonderful, vibrant underground music scene in my hometown. Thanks for introducing me to so many great bands I would never have heard otherwise. Thanks for your unique sense of humor. Thanks for making all of us suburban Cincy brats feel welcome in Newport.

Great memories Thank you!

So long, my Best Friend; say hi to Shorty, Tiny, Michael, Tebbe, & all the JCers waiting for us on The Other Side - you're already highly missed!
