I will always remember Bill with gratitude and appreciation for helping me "get my feet wet" at ASD at the beginning of my professional career. Many wonderful memories! Thank you, Bill, for being you! RIP!

I met Bill when I joined ASD right out of grad school in 1984. While most employees were intimidated by him, we forged a friendship that lasted many years. I used to house-sit for Bill & Lucia, while they were on there many excursions, because Bill wanted me to have access to their pianos as I had played in my youth. Bill & I last met for lunch about 6 months before his death. The conversation was as lively & deeply personal as it had always been. He maintained his intelligence and curiosity...

I had the pleasure of working at ASD and really enjoyed being around Bill. I felt that he had a very generous nature and I considered him one of my mentors. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and am grateful for what I learned from him. I was saddened to hear of his passing and will always remember him.

My condolences for your loss.

It was my privilege to have worked with Bill at ASD and to have learned so much from him. He is a legend in the fields architecture and interior design. I also enjoyed the wine making days, riding in his convertible and seeing him at the gym. All my best to his family!

My Sincere Condolences. ❤

Both Bill and and Lucia were pivotal parts in the beginning of my art career. Not only did they buy my work but they sponsored me to have a show at the Unitarian Universalist Church, one of my first. As my work began to grow and change they never stop supporting me. Over the years we have remained friends and I will always cherish those memories. They were both loved by everyone who was fortunate enough to have them in their lives.

I was so fortunate to have worked with Bill! He saw something in me and made it possible for me to have a career that I had never dreamed of. He was a truly amazing great man. I am and will be forever thankful for the opportunities and support he gave me. I greatly saddened but his and Lucia's death.
My condolences to Deidre, Laurence, Anthony, Christopher and all of the family.
