Not sure what to say?

Thank you sir for all your instruction and life guidance. Most sincere sympathies to family and close friends.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bill and Garland at their house when I was scoutingfor art for the then under-construction Mott/Von Voigtlander Hospitals - they were utterly delightful. I could have spent all day talking with them! I'm pleased to say we have several of Bill's collage works in the Mott/Von Voigtlander Hospitals Art Collection on permanent display in a public hallway on Level 4. Please feel free to contact me should you ever want to see them.

I am deeply sadden by the death of Bill. He was a wonderful man as well as a superb artist. His art was particularly admired in our house, and I have had one of his paintings in my bedroom for nearly 70 years. I have fond memories of him from the 1950s. I hope that I can play a part in keeping his art alive for people to appreciate. My condolences to Clayton and the rest of is family.
