Becky, Please know that Bill will be sincerely and deeply missed by many in the collecting community. He was a warm and true friend to me for many years. I have such fond memories of our dinners at Haussner's in Baltimore, often with his Dad ... and what memories of that accordian!
Sincerest condolences to you and the family from a long time friend.

Dear Becky, I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your loving husband, Bill. I have never met him and only saw you at a couple of our Nativity reunions. But it is always sad when you lose a loved one. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Sorry to just hear about Bill’s passing. Becky we will all miss Bill that knew him through the WW2 collecting and German hunting collecting fields. Bill was one of the guys who took this gal seriously in collecting European Hunting and as a beginning collector in the 1980’s shared his knowledge and taught what was important to grow a collection. Bill and his father were for years attended The Max Show and were a big part of it. Bill involved with Tom Wittmann in book reference to keep us in...
