Not sure what to say?

I just learned of Bill's passing as I was out of town for several weeks. He was a past member of Good Shepherd Parish, where I am pastor, but I knew him years ago. I had great times at "The Shambles" especially for his wonderful Christmas open houses. I will always remember him fondly.

I only had the opportunity to work with Bill for a couple of years before he retired. What I will remember most about him is the time that he would take out of his day to answer the mundane rookie questions that I had; always earnestly and always with a smile.

Bill and I were both born and raised in Burlington, Iowa, and became specifying Architects. Bill was one of my mentors and I have always felt a special closeness to him. The Architectural Community is going to miss one of its pillars.

Bill will be with us as we pass to admire or tend every leaf and flower in our forest. May we all love and care for each other as Bill tended to each of us.
