Not sure what to say?

I was just watching the Cosby Show and seen him on there, it made me question where was he at, I didn´t know he passed away! May He Rest In Peace

He was wonderful as Dabnis... I also have seen both his Coast soap commercials.. the first one was from the 70s and the other is from 1992 and I actually remember seeing the one from 1992 as a kid.. it was when he plays a father and his young son does the voiceover on how he gets dad out of bed... it was a very memorable commercial... continue to rest well in heavenly peace...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I didn´t know he passed away. That´s so sad. May continue to rest peacefully

Even though it's been 3 years since his passing, I remember him providing music several times for our DOC General Assemblies. His music was profound and is greatly missed.

I didnt know this,i'm so very sad and hurt, I knew Dabnis Brickey from the Cosby show, he was awesome, RIP Brother Rev William Thomas Job well done, Condolences to your entire family

Bill, you taught us so many wonderful songs at Stuyvesant Heights Christian Church, Brooklyn, NY. We sing these songs often and will cherish the memories. Thank you for your service to the young adult choir

The most memorable episodes of the Cosby Show were the ones he was in! So sad he's gone.

We knew Bill when he was still a young man attending Camp Christian and shortly thereafter. Heard him play the organ beautifully for a friend's wedding. Always a gentleman and always quietly displayed much talent. We were fortunate to know him and have never forgotten him. He has obviously continued to positively served and impact the world. The Good Lord welcomed a good man. Blessings, prayers & condolences to the family.
