Read MoreI was fortunate to know Bill as a mentor and artist at Terwilliger Plaza. He was the Foundation Board President and played an important role in my time with the organization. He was ever the convener whether leading a sing-a-long, giving a master class on basket making, or running a meeting. Truly one-of-a-kind! Sending my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends!

Bill, of course, lives on in the hearts and thoughts of many. For my part, I can still hear his lovely tenor voice at Sunday service in the St. Helens United Methodist Church of 28 years ago. For as long as my consciousness lasts, I will be grateful to Bill and to Lee for the help they so generously gave me weathering difficult times in my life.
