A Life Extremely Well-Lived. G-Dspeed, Mr. Slaughter.

Bill and I were roommates for the Opening Retreat of Leadership Birmingham, Class of 1992. He was a fascinating conversationalist. We spent the evening talking about various topics. I enjoyed subsequent times seeing him and engaging in dialogue about the happenings of Birmingham and world affairs. I am grateful for his friendship. May he rest in eternal peace.

Always enjoyed talking to Bill about trees and landscaping since at the time we lived next door to Bill. Our sincere regrets to find out he has gone. Peyton Lee

He was an original. One of the smartest, funniest and most generous men I have met in the legislature. It was an immense pleasure to get to know and work with him, all too briefly.
