It is hard to imagine a world without the giant presence of Bill Wise. He was bright, personable and had a fine sense of humor.

Billy - I could get away with calling him Billy, was a mountain of a man. Beautiful, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring. In his profession at the time in Boulder, Colorado, RARE! My love goes out to everyone in his family. This man was truly one of a kind. Peace and love in your time of sorrow, may it pass and may his memory always be an inspiration to all of us who for this very brief moment were blessed by his love.
