William Alexander "Bill" Rosser

Met Bill at my sister's wedding to his son - sharp dresser and great dancer, and made me feel at ease in a natural sort of way. So glad I got to know him and his partner Larry - what wonderful men. I'm sorry he suffered at the end. The world is a sadder without him in it. I wish all of his great-grandchildren were old enough to remember him well. (And I am making contributions to Barack Obama in his memory, as suggested!)

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Bill will be dearly missed

Bill was a Very special man indeed. I'de only gotten to know Bill in the short time I was one of many employees at the condo, but he helped to make me feel right at home there. His kindness shown to me at a tough economic time of life was welcomed - and he was by nature such a thoughtful person. I knew the first time I was introduced to him that he was an exceptional man. Though quiet in nature he had a hearty appetite for a stimulating conversation!I always enjoyed those while walking the...

It was my pleasure to know Bill. My brother, Larry, Just adored him as I grew to also. I am saddened by his passing but I know he will spend eternity now with Larry. thank all of Bills family for loving and accepting my brothers love of their father.

I will always remember our long talks on politics. He always seemed to know a bit more than you did and his thirst for knowledge was insatiable. He kept me on my toes and up to speed even on events happening within my own state. I remember how happy he was when New York had legalized gay marriage. I believe that he had lived a richly satisfying life and he made us all richer for sharing his optomistic attitude with us.

Words are inadequate, but also needed. Bill was such a loving and caring human being that he even made time to encourage and console me (six years his senior and geographically distant). Bill and Karen, you more than fully expressed your love and ours (so many family members and friends) in your loving care for him in his last months. My love to you at this sad time and always.

I will always remember him with an easy and wonderful smile and laugh. He will be missed dearly.

I will sorely miss my wonderful father-in-law (my 'other' Bill) and our weekly conversations on politics, friends and family updates, and Sarasota's beautiful weather-"another day in paradise". He shared my love for a fine vanilla ice cream and progressive politics. We laughed a lot together and he enriched my life.
