Not sure what to say?

I am just now finding this out. What a shock. He was a good man and cared for so many of my pets until he moved from the area. He was a great vet and just a super nice guy to talk to. My heart goes out to Kelly and their son. I remember going to the old clinic on Ashley St. when he and Kelly ran the shop. What a sweet memory.

Some fourteen years ago, a small orange kitten came to Affordable Vet Services. Her hind legs were crushed, and it was thought that one or probably both would have to be amputated. Dr. Bill got to work, and he put both legs back together! They were somewhat cockeyed, but the kitten, named Sparkler, could walk around without dragging them behind her. She could climb but not jump. She was getting around just fine! Now Sparkler is fourteen years old, sitting beside me and helping me write this...

I remember Bill as the genius class clown in our vet school class of `94. It was entertaining to have him in the class but at times, hard to keep up with his brilliant mind. I have video of the vet school talent show called Vetrap where he showcased his comedic talents. One of the skits involved a new anesthetic gas he came up with as part of a research project that was made from horse flatulence.

Kelly, I am so sad to hear of Bill's passing...he was a wonderful Vet and an exceptional human being....you our sympathy and prayers....

Bill was always a loving, compassionate classmate , full of fun and energy! His intellectual capacity was outstanding, mind boggling but he always was gracious and giving in his knowledge. I will miss his spirit greatly

Bill was always a delight , a creative genius and an inspiration. Although I never met him in person we partnered mentally concerning several possible financial business ventures. I had talked to him 2 weeks before he passed and as he was attempting to continue working part-time as he was recovering from a prior health issue. I am truly saddened at his passing and wondered if there was any celebration of his life in the Michigan area. Thanks for your response and you have my sincere...

I'm deeply saddened by the sudden loss of my dear friend.. He was the smartest person I've had ever met. One of a kind guy, who loved tamales and loved making people laugh.

I will always remember Bill as my unique classmate in Vet school. He made us all laugh and think in such a special way. No one else was like him. He had an energy and enthusiasm that lit up a room. The works had lost a very special man and heaven has gained an exceptional angel

Dr. Bill was a gifted man and an outstanding veterinarian. We are so sorry to hear of his passing and offer our sincere condolences to the family.
