I met Bill at my first job as an illustrator in the summer of 1962, a wonderful mentor!
He and Priscilla introduced Judy and I to Standard Poodles and have owned them ever since! In 1964 Bill traded his red 1964 split window Corvette into my fathers Pontiac business for a top of the line Pontiac Bonneville convertible! We talked a lot about his Bermuda Yawl sailboat, yup on company time! I went to work for.Polaroid Corporation and unfortunately lost contact with Bill sorry to say! Bless you for the memories And bless Priscilla!!

It was with great sadness that I just yesterday learned of Bill´s passing. Ironically, I had called him just a couple of days ago to see if we could meet for lunch following our brief get together back in April. It had been our intention to repeat what had been a very enjoyable experience, and I had tried to contact him a couple of times. When I did not hear back from him after a while, I decided to look him up on line, which is how I learned of his death. Clearly, Bill Had a long life and it was a good life. He was able to do many of the things he wanted to, which was a reward in itself. He always had a sparkle in his eye and a smile that could light up a room. I shall remember him fondly and I wish his family my sincerest condolences. The world will be a lonlier place without him, but he leaves some wonderful memories.
