Yes, it was on the mourn
I saw a ship a sailing
The sea was calm
The winds were fair
Bill was young
And he was at the rail
With shipmates once again.---rs

Bill had a wonderful sense of humor and he was very generous.
I had the privilege of being on the receiving end of both their hospitalities
at the Sitka “ Fish House”, “ Hunt Camp” and Netarts, Oregon.
A chef extraordinaire when it came to cooking fish.
A remarkable man; he is missed.

So many memories over so many years, but always bringing a smile and chuckle for Bill had a great sense of humor. Bob's recollection is of the Porsche club in Seattle and the many rallys and parties....pre-marriage days. Bob's next memory is a first class fishing expedition for steelhead on an Oregon river.

Bill was truly an amazing guy!
Multi-faceted and multi-talented. He did it all and he did it well!
Not only about fishing and hunting, although that was his core. Bill had an almost encyclopedic knowledge of boats and running them, outdoor camp cooking, building, he did amazing woodworking, and was a connoisseur of fine wines, just to name a few.
He will be missed!

Bill was a great friend and so fun to fish and hunt with him. Have missed him in the last few years but such fond remembrances with the four of us on the boat exploring southern Alaska. Rest In Peace my friend.

What a great guy with a great sense of humor. My husband’s best friend, spending many outdoor events together. Bill took me on my first fishing trip to Alaska, living on his boat. Can’ say I would ever do it again, but Bill made it a great trip and was the ultimate entertainer. Will miss you Bill.
