Not sure what to say?

So Sorry for your loss. I appreciated Bills "Moral compass" and also appreciated the time we worked together. Sorry this is so late, but I just looked Bill up and found this.

I just read of Bill´s passing in a Fall neighborhood newsletter I´d put off reading. Just recently he´d given me advice about hiking the AT, about patient care...I am so shocked and sorry for your loss, Beth. Sorry for all of us that he´s not here to consult and comfort and inspire all of us.

Bill was our physician when he was here in Lakeville, NY. He was one of the best and we were so sad when he left. He told me quite a bit of healthful advice, one of which I never forgot to this day, is lifesaving and I pass along to friends and coworkers all the time. We were glad to have him in our lives.

Beth Ann; I just found out about Bill´s passing, he was quite the adventurer and outdoorsman. His parents were so proud when he got into Princeton. I was a few years behind him, Nancy was one of my Teachers when I went to ESCC and I was also a member of Reverend Plonk´s Church in Onancock. Being that both passed within 14 months of each other, I know this most be a difficult time for the family. Please except my prayers and sincere condolences. Please pass on the same to Mary.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories keep our loved one with us always and help us get through difficult times. And you all made a lot of wonderful memories together with your travels and time living in New Zealand. I am keeping you in my prayers today and always.

I´m so sorry to learn of Bill´s passing. He was my freshman year RA at Princeton and an instigator of fun throughout the year. He created a camaraderie among first entry Henry residents that was quite unusual is still evident on Facebook today. I pray for the family today and hope that you find comfort in your memories of this remarkable man.

Condolences from PU cross country. Bill was a great teammate and it was fun to reconnect on FB and every so often at reunions. So sorry for your sudden loss.

Although I only knew him a short while, Bill´s love for Medicine and how we can assist our most vulnerable patients was evident. What was more evident was his love for his wife and children! My thoughts and prayers go out to you all during this difficult time! Know he was proud of you all and enjoyed sharing stories of your lives!!

My deepest condolences, at this difficult time. &
