William Wallace Ratcliffe

Bill was a great photographer and a good friend when we worked together at Dugway. I still enjoy his book on "Utah" which I have. Bill will be missed.

Bill and I worked together at Dugway for years. His friendship through the many years will always be cherished. He was one of the true artist with a camera lens. His published works will be his legacy for many to enjoy for years. He touched many lives and will be truly missed.

While I only remember Bill by name, I know he worked with my dad Kiyoshi Kay Yei at Dugway for some time. I remember being young and meeting several people, presumably Bill being one of them, at events like Dugway days. For me to remember those people dad talked about when I was young indicate to me Bill must have been a fantastic friend to dad. My father passed on years ago and it seems like I recall meeting Bill once again at his funeral, I regret that I will be on duty at the fire...

First met Bill at Dugway when posted there while in the army. A truer kinder friend you could not meet. More recently myself and a friend David have travelled to stay with Bill and Nelda in our home from home in Orem. We were privileged to spend many hours with Bill on his travels and in particular we cherish the time we spent in Death Valley in 1998, the Year of the Flowers. The world is richer for his being here and now feels sadly empty at his passing. We will cherish his memory always....

I will always cherish the moments and time I worked with Bill and ran into him at various art exhibits where he showed his work. The few pieces of work I have of his and his Utah II book have always been favorites of mine. I will miss you Bill.

Aunt Nelda, our love and prayers are with you all. Rick and Olive will be driving up Saturday morning. Love: Bary and Jan, Olive, Rick and Lezlie

Enjoyed the rides, as much as one can for so many miles, so many times. Good photos. Thanks,

We were fortunate that Bill befriended us and allowed us to be part of his life. He introduced us to Death Valley and we shared 3 wonderful trips there with him and Nelda. Every time we hear of rain in California, we recall standing in waist-high flowers in the middle of Death Valley, with Bill coaching our photography.

Memories of those times together will be with us forever.

Your were a great lover of Nature and I will miss you and your selective eye for composition and color.
