We are so very sad to hear about Bill. He was a law school classmate and a colleague of my husband's at the city law department. There was no kinder and sweeter soul than Bill. We are so very sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful listener and friend.

I am truly saddened that my neighbor and friend of 23 years is no longer with us however I will always remember him and the discussions we had and particulaly the ones we had about baseball and bicycles.

I was fortunate enough to have Bill as my neighbor and friend for 23 years. He was one of the few people in this world that was moved by music just as much as myself. Bill was simply one of my most favorite people.
He will linger on everytime I glance across the street, his pale blue eyes...

Bill was a dear friend to me. He was kind, brilliant and funny. I am going to miss him so, so very much. He will always be in my heart.

Dear Bill and Cecilia,
I think that there is nothing more painful than loosing a son or daughter. It definitely is not the way it should go in life. Please know that I will keep Bill in my prayers and you as well. You have my sincerest sympathy.
