William L. Smallwood

BILL SR. WAS A fantastic friend, story teller, researcher. He loved learning and teaching as he loved connecting with others. He showed up...at friend's lifetime events and showed interest in other's lives. No one like him! Our children studied his science books ! Much love and remembrance for this fantastic human being! Hope to see his family members !

Sorry for the family loss. I was just in Guernica and watched his interview with survivors. Very powerful for generations to come. Eskerrik asko Jim Ogan

Some people supersize you with their frriendship and always have good vibes when around you. I got to know Bill and Pat and Eric when they had their home on the Clear lakes Country Club and have many fond memories on the Links. I miss my Smallwood friends.
