Myself and my friend, Greta
Bill was a good man and remains an inspiration to me. As people age, many of them become parodies of their earlier selves; because they quit learning, quit growing. Bill was not a man to stay in the past. Indeed, his motto was: Never quit learning. I'm glad to have known Bill and learned the secret of staying forever young.

I met Bill on a couple of occasions while my mother was a resident at the retirement home and immediately appreciated his keen intellect. His tireless efforts to encourage the other residents to remain engaged with the world through modern technology--an iPhone being always in his pocket or hand--was beneficial to many. He was a truly inspiring individual. Skylar H

As a caregiver for Bill for almost 2 years, I can truly say I will never forget him. I feel so blessed to have met him and had many many great, enriching, special conversations with him. I'm so happy to know him and Norma are together again and Bill is out of pain. Love to All the Sleepers.
