Not sure what to say?

I didn't know William Wondriska's name until today. I googled a very much loved children's book that has been in my heart for over 50 years called Mr Brown and Mr Gray. It had a profound effect on me and further searches brought me here. I wanted to say thank you. I'm sorry to read of his passing and wished to show my respect.

Bill was the reason I eventually became a respected graphic designer. He also shared some techniques I use to this very day. I will always be indebted to him and am sad to learn of his passing.

On behalf of all of us at the Hartford Arts School and the University of Hartford, I send my deepest sympathy to all of Bill's family and friends. His spirit and creativity inspired all of us at both of these institutions and his great design work for the University continues to live on.

Our condolences;to you all.
