Sheryl, When I saw the news about Bill this morning, I was shocked and saddened. Although we didn't stay in touch as adults, I will always cherish the memories with Bill and "The Vincents" when we were young. His family was always so good to me.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the Vincent family, may the Good Lord bring you all peace and understanding. Jim Kisel

Sorry to read in the paper of Bill's death. I worked with him in the old Sabatini firms on 7th St. and Topeka Blvd. He was a great atty - compassionate and understanding of his clients. We also enjoyed his sense of humor around the office.

Sheryl. Billy was magical in the eyes of a 7-year-old girl back in the 70s. I fondly remember many dinners at your home where Bill was laughing and telling jokes. He always made my brother Tim and me feel so valued, even though we were just little kids at the time. To this day, when Tim and I eat barbecued potato chips (the other constant at your home besides Bill laughing) we discuss our wonderful memories of you and Bill. I am sorry for your loss and grateful for his presence in this world. Shannon O'Sullivan

Bill was a valuable member of the board for The Legal Aid Society of Topeka when I worked there in 1972 and 1973. He came by the office frequently and provided guidance to the young Legal Aid attorneys working there under Roger McCollister, my first boss after KU Law School. Bill will long be remembered because he cared for so many others in the legal profession.
