I was so saddened to hear about Bill's passing. We worked together at the Hilton and he was a wonderful confidant and friend. We shared a love of dogs and art, and I often found my way to Bill's office when I needed a break. He was truly one of the nicest people on the planet. My condolences to John and all of their family.

John, I am so sorry for your loss. Bill was so kind to have spent some time with me recently - filled with enthusiasm and personality about his work and love of cooking. He will be missed.

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Bill's passing. We worked together at the Hilton for many years. His office and his friendship were a refuge for me when I just needed to clear my head. I loved hearing about his art collection, his dogs, and life. I will always remember his kindness to everyone, his wicked sense of humor, and his genuine warmth and compassion. Thoughts and prayers going out to John and their family.

John, how can this be? Bill, dead. I think of you as, the twins. Can't imagine one without the other. I hope the many people around you can help with your pain. When you are ready, I would love to meet. My telephone number is still the same. Hugs and love, Jenny
