Working for Dr. Bill was such a great experience. I´m sure you are missed by many. Carol Tower

Bill and Jean were neighbors of ours on Wilkin Drive and I used to babysit for their children. He was always friendly and kind to me. He was a friendly sweet guy and will be missed by many, I´m sure.

A wonderful doctor and a very dear person. Rest in peace.

Billy was such a wonderful man in so many ways and despite his tremendous longevity we all would have appreciated even more time together. He was foremost a gentleman. The one page handwritten "contract" that we signed in 1990 (and never had reason to refer to again) exemplified Billy's character. He always gave every endeavor his best effort. Billy's energy level was admirable, as well as his steadfast adoration of Jean. I'm sure his and Jean's tremendous partnership was the chief reason...

My sincerest condolences to Jean, Ricky and Kenny and the entire extended family. I babysat for the Licht boys for several years. My mom and dad enjoyed Billy and Jean´s company as friends and neighbors. Billy always had an engaging smile for everyone.

A very special story: 50 years ago in late June, I caught a baseball square in the mouth. My mother brought me directly to his office just before lunch & long story short, he worked for 3 continuous hours with good results. For years afterwards, he'd pat me on the shoulder & with a big smile, tell me I was his greatest...

I first me Billy while working with him at Meadow Place Dental, Billy was such an amazing and special person, always had a smile and story to tell. The world is a better place with everything Billy has done, I will miss him and keep Jean in my thoughts.
