Not sure what to say?

I wanted to write to the family. I know Bill passed away a while ago, but I just found out about your father´s passing today. I wanted to let you know what he and Sally meant to me. I used to play the 2nd horn with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. Your father and mother were the sponsors for my chair in the orchestra and I got to meet them and have dinner with them several times. I really enjoyed them both so much, and knowing that Bill once played the horn was so cool. I also enjoyed...

The most interesting person i have ever met & so humble, miss him

My father and Bill became law partners right after they graduated from USC Law. He was always a cheerful and wonderful man who was always a joy to be around.
Later on in our lives, I would see him at Gelson's in Encino and also see him driving on Ventura Blvd. with a dog in the front seat next to him.
He would always inquire as to my family's health and was always upbeat and happy.
I shall miss him.

Bill was one of my dad's best and most enduring friends. My dad never went to college and spent part of his life as a musician. Despite their different stations in life, they were great friends. Bill was a kind and caring man, and I'll always remember him with fondness and respect.

Bill was my uncle. My one and only Uncle Bill. We had a very close relationship and I knew of course that he was a giant of the law, but for me he was first and foremost a giant of a man! Bill was kind, modest, intelligent, wise and so very very dear to Danny, me and the girls. I've learned so much from Bill and I know that he will remain in my heart and mind for ever.

The staff of American Cancer Fund™ at www.AmericanCancerFund.org is sorry to hear of Bill's passing. We have received memorial contributions in his name and our sincere condolences go out to his family.

My Dad was a truly great man who inspired me and the entire family with his wisdom, intelligence, and charm. He was humble about his accomplishments but he achieved so much. He was always an inspiration to me and will continue to be my inspiration.

Thank you for being my Dad.
