Not sure what to say?

I remember Bill for his great sarcastic humor. Since both he and I were approximately the same age, we have had similar experiences with music, societal norms and other forms of entertainment. He could make a joke or reference to something that only he and I could understand. I miss him more and more everyday. Even though we were separated by geography I could see our relationship never ending.

I´m sorry to hear about Bill´s passing but I´ll always remember him. He and I were kindred spirits and we always knew how to have a good time together. Since we were both about the same age, we knew a lot about the societal environment we grew up in and thought very much alike. I will miss him dearly and cherish his memories. RIP Bill.

I worked with Bill at Richmond NBP. I was just in awww of his work. I watched him create - what I called masterpieces - out of wood. I watched him create and I asked so many questions. He loved his children and wife, Carol. He always talked about Emily and Will. My prayers to the family.

I worked with Bill at Richmond National Battlefield from 2007-2010 before he moved on to Stones River. The knowledge I gained from him was immense. He was a true patriot and American. I will truly miss him.
