Read MoreI just learned of Bill's death. He was a best friend and shipmate. We had some good times in California. Hope all the family is well.
Jolynn and I still live in Houston. Most of our family is in this area. Our daughter, Arden, will be 60 this year. Hard to believe it has been that long.

Brilliant & talented man .... I can still hear his Marblehead accent amidst great dinner conversation, splashed with wickedly wry humor. Bill - you will be missed....RIP.

A very sad day--Bill was a wonderful generous artist, skillful and funny. Boston's a little dimmer with his passing.

I had worked with Bill on judging an art exhibit and he was a popular demonstrator at my local art association. He was a superb water colorist. I fondly remember looking through his sketchbook of barnyard hens...he painted with such joy. It was clear that his "second" career was one which found its strength from his heart. A giving artist, he will be remembered fondly.
