William Harold Rutherford III

It was a privilege to be a friend. He will be missed by many. May the Lord Jesus Christ be with the family during this time.

I am so very sorry to hear of Bill´s passing. I grew up a block from Bill and eventually he was a running buddy and my carpool ride to summer track for the Shocker Striders at WSU. He was always wickedly smart, funny , kind and generous. Even though I was just a kid he treated me with regard and kindness. Peace and Godspeed

I´m so deeply sorry fir your loss. Often I found myself laughing at one of Willies posts. He always brightened my day. He will be sorely missed.

I came to know Willie online, and we bonded over a shared propensity for brash, outspoken humor and brash, outspoken politics. Willie's voice will be missed greatly, as will the smiles and laughter he brought to so many. Our world is a little dimmer, and a lot poorer, for his loss. My most heartfelt condolences to Renee and the rest of his family. Thank you for sharing him with all of us.

Met Willie online, an interesting and FINE Character. Memories are good, I will cherish them!

Bill/Willie was such a great man and friend. I loved talking with him. I thought that we had many more years to talk and laugh and make hilarious irreverent memories. Heaven needed someone to keep things real. Godspeed Willie.

Willie is one of those "larger than life" individuals, who you only get to call a "friend" if you´re truly lucky in life. He will certainly live on, in the form of warm and fond memories of those who knew him. I will miss you my brother, and will always honor your memories!
