Dear Jan, I was looking for your email and found this about Bill. I am so very sorry! We were so young when we lived in New York. I remember how you and Bill met.... a story that I imagine aged well.

My sincerest condolences to Jan and Bill's family. Bill was not only a client but had become a good friend over the last couple of years. We were both diagnosed with cancer around the same time and we continued to offer each other words of encouragement. He was such a good man and although we never met face-to-face, I considered him a good friend and I will miss our talks.

I looked up to Bill as the older brother I never had, but who didn´t look up to him! He was always so encouraging to talk to and I´m so glad we were all together recently. Our family will never be the same. I´m so sorry Jan, Lauren and David...

May his many memories comfort you at this time. We loved Bill and he will remain in our hearts forever. He was an amazing, loving and giving man. He will be missed.

Bill hired me for my first job in advertising. It amazed me how he could walk into a large meeting, listen to the issues being discussed and then always offer the right solution. When Bill Stern spoke, everyone listened. My parents said that working for Bill was like getting my Masters.
