William W. Ranson

Carolyn and I both had the pleasure of working with Bill for many years. He was always pleasant to the guests and employees of Hagley and usually had a quip he would share. His recent visits to Hagley after his retirement were always appreciated by those that had a chance to see him again.

BILL WAS A REAL GENTLEMAN AND RESPECTED FRIEND.

It was an honor and a privledge to work with Bill and find his dream home in Olde Colonial Village. We talked last week about his thankfulness for all the wonderful friends he had made while living there. I am happy he able to have his wish to stay there. Bill is the true definition of a gentlemen in every sense and also a gentle man. He will be greatly missed.

I've seen it said already but the best description for Bill is he was a gentleman. I worked with Bill at Hagley Museum and will always remember his upbeat greetings and smile. He will be missed by so many of us.

I worked with Bill at Hagley and admired his knowledge and ready smile. He was very gracious with little kids and adults alike. I feel blessed to have known him these last 5 plus years. He was a great man who will be missed. Kate Davis
