Robyn-
How many years has it been...sending my warmest wishes and thoughts to you. Bill certainly had a long full life. What wonderful memories so many of us have (I still want to go to camp every summer!). I have a picture out of me jumping in the 'big' ring. It would be great to see you some day. XO

Robyn-
My condolences are with you and your family at this hard time. Bill was such a great and influential person and I will always have the best memories from Firebird to cherish.

Judy, Robin and Bill Jr., I'm sorry to hear about your father's passing. I enjoyed my time at Roosevelt both being a boarder (Bill helped me buy my first horse) and an instructor. I always had fun when we went to competitions. The memory that comes to mind is, I was on his team at a hunter pace and my horse took off and galloped by Bill and Danny-Boy. We both had a good laugh over that afterwards. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Christine Eldredge LaMarca

Robin and Judy and Bill Jr. ,
I'm so sorry to hear of Bill's death. In spite of his age it seemed a shock. He was a man that one thinks could live forever. He truly influenced so many kid's lives in wonderful ways and created memories for kids young and old that will last for lifetimes. My favorite memory is when Bill asked me to ride Tidbit and be Paul Revere on July 4th 1976 at Firebird. Memories like that and so many others offer comfort at this sad time. Thanks Bill for the...

Robyn, Judy and family,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Bill was a true renaissance man and enjoyed sharing his knowledge with so many. I am a better person today as a result.
Right now - I believe Bill is enjoying a great ride on Danny Boy and looking for his best rival for a tennis match!

Dear Lorimer Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your dad's passing.
My three girls spent wonderful summers at Roosevelt and we will never forget him.
