William H. Thorp

Dear Barry, Stephanie and family,
Please accept our heartfelt sorrow and deepest sympathy over your loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time of grief.
Love, Noella and Ed Lamirande
Saint Johns, FL

To Julie, Brian, and Barry - a word of thanks for Bill, whom I remember for his extraordinary care of Anita - but also for his generosity with his trumpet, playing for our caroling, and for sharing Elder Brewster, our common ancestor, with me. Much love from afar, Jim (and Nancy) Pratt

We will miss you, Grandfather. You taught us all by your unfailing, yet quiet example about strength, patriotism, tolerance and dignity- never asking more of anyone than you were willing to deliver yourself. I take you with me on every sail and through every day of my life.

I will miss Great-Uncle Bill (he was the brother of my father's mother, Elizabeth). He had such a quiet and calm demeanor that was settling during hectic family gatherings. I am not surprised that he led such an illustrious life. Deepest sympathies to those in his immediate family.

My sincere sympathies to the Thorp family. Bill was an exceptional example of all things good and gracious. Although I knew him mostly as a musician he was the consummate professional. And his impeccable and melodic trumpet solos I'll never forget.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the Thorp family, especially Barry and Stephanie, on the passing of their dad Bill. He was a great person, fun to work with, and had infinite patience. He will be greatly missed, I am sure of that.
