Not sure what to say?

Bill is deeply missed and fondly remembered. Not only through my own experiences with Bill, but those of family and friends, I see how greatly he was loved and loved.

Bill was a great friend and fraternity brother we shared many a laugh and times together socially and as Fijis. I had the privilege of meeting his delightful and gracious wife Marge and having dinner with in their lovely home in Oswego. Bill will be missed by all who knew him and his family. The memories he provided are gifts that never stop giving. Perge Bill. And God speed Denny Boultinghouse KO 1960.

Uncle Bill is in my earliest memories as fun, positive, and interesting. I hope to continue his wonderful Legacy with our families!

Bill was a joy to work with on the board of the Multnomah Arts Center for several years. He also hosted parties in the winter months for the Arts Center board, lifting our spirits. His generous financial donations and willingness to serve on committees were special.

I truly appreciated Bill's joyfulness, humor, and positivity. I am especially grateful for the deep love and affection he so freely gave my aunt. It was beautiful to witness. Bill will be always remembered and deeply missed. He touched many in his lifetime - what a gift.

Bill and I attended high school together. When my artist husband, Dave, shared his compositions via email, Bill would often respond with wit and insight. And what delightful (frequent) forwarded emails! Much love to his family and friends.

I volunteered at the Multnomah Art Center with Bill. As a fellow board member, I could always count on him to sign up for an extra shift at art sales. He was always in a good mood, making everyone eager to follow his lead. In his memory, I will made a donation to Multnomah Arts Center Association. He was a special person!

Bill! Was a true gentleman, a good friend. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
