It’ seems like just yesterday that we were playing in the band together at different places a d enjoying every minute of it.
Bill was always fun to be around and we laughed all the time but still staying in tune. He was a great person and one that you could always count on.
RIP my friend.

Sorry to say, I just found out about my old friend Bill in the music store yesterday in Beaumont., Bill, Jimmy,
Jeff Greenberg, Kipy Butler, Mike Albright, and myself use to play in a band, "The Bondsmen" way back in the late 60's for a few years. He was always fun to be around and had a smile on his face. I still play, so tonight I
will pick up one of my acustic guitars, sit on the couch, and play a few old song to him that we use to play together as a group. What great memories...

When I was growing up William was my big brother, my friend, and my guardian. I was his little brother, his pest, and his ball and chain. We shared many happy things: a room, records, toys, games and we also shared tears when our paternal grandmother and grandfather passed on. Later when we were grown our maternal grandparents passed on. William has lost many loved ones and the most recent loss was his beloved daughter, Robin. William loved her dearly and never stopped talking of her. He...

The world has now lost 2 wonderful people in a span of less than 3 months. My son Michael was close to his "gramps" and loved him very much. Tho I did'nt get to spend as much time with Bill as I would have liked, the time we did have was wonderful. My wife Robin loved him very much and I'm sure she's giving him the tour of heaven right now. Someday, Michael and I will join them on that tour, and it will be the most joyous time in our lives. Bill will be sorely missed.

Uncle Butch was a great man he was thankful for everything he had in his life and that's what it's really all about. He cared for his family deeply. It is a very sad ordeal that he is gone. Family Gatherings and the Holidays won't be the same without getting to talk to him. I will miss him very much.
