My condolences to all Bill's family and friends. Bill & I were Best of friends back in Bel Air Middle School. We played guitars and jammed during music class. The teacher gave us a separate room to jam in because we were a little to loud for the regular class!!! We had a lot of good times. Thank you Rhonda for putting up with us while we jammed in Bill's Bedroom all night!

My heart breaks for your family Bill, I only spent a couple of years with you as a punk kid helper but I think of you often. It's been over 20 years since I saw you last, I didn't know it then, but you taught me how to deal with people on the job but more importantly, people off the job. you gave me a living, but more importantly, you taught me how to be a man. Thank you Bill

Bill was a fun loving, kind person. I had no idea that he was sick. I will always remember the laughs that we all shared and the crazy pictures he loved to stage at my expense. I never saw him without a smile on his face. That speaks volumes about his outlook on life! His kindness, his laughter and his love of life will be missed by all. Prayers and blessings. Rest in peace my friend! Enjoy the ride!

What can I say about Bill? A friend, yes. But he was so much more.
A brother that I never had, sharing good times and bad. Doing all the things a brother does, helping, hindering, coming to the rescue, laughing at you, laughing with you, laughing at himself, getting you into trouble, getting himself into trouble, getting you both out of trouble.
Being friends with your friends, even if he didn't like them. Taking you on adventures, never knowing where they might end. Following you...
