It was truly an honor to represent Bill before the IRS during the time before I was disbarred. Bill's knowledge of corporate entities and trusts was truly awesome to witness first hand. No one could be as complex as Bill could be. RIP compradre.

I miss you so very much Dad. I remember as a little girl, if I was upset I could just lay my head on your chest and you'd pat my head. No words were spoken but I felt like no harm could come to me.
I love you now and forever.. Your Loving Daughter

Expressing our sincere condolences to all your family in this time of sorrow. I never met Billy Wells but I remember as a young boy hearing about him while visiting his grandparents Uncle Will and Aunt Gerty. My mother (Audrey Laycock-Friese) was Aunt Gerty's niece.
My family would visit them in Libertyville and also spent many wonderful vacations at the cottage on Clear Lake across the bay from Red Pine Camp.
I cannot remember all the details from the conversations about Billy, but what I do remember most of all is the sense of profound pride his Grandparents had in him.
May he rest in peace.

To me he was always Mr Wells. He was not an executive that worked the Miramar he was The Captain Of The Ship. I loved my time at the Miramar under Mr Wells. Thank you and Rest in peace

I admired Bill tremendously. He mentored me at a young age and taught me the value of sound work ethics. He also rather sternly but gently taught me once not to present him with excuses, but with solutions. God bless you and maybe well meet again.

Upon hearing the passing of Mr. Wells I was extremely saddened! Having worked at the Miramar Sheraton Hotel in Santa Monica California for 20 years Mr. Wells was very instrumental in my development as a person and who I am today. I remember Mr. Wells as an extremely caring and generous man who was truly concerned about each and every person who he came in contact with. I clearly remember many conversations with Mr. Wells where I was struck by his concern for me as a person. The care that he showed for me then has impacted me and has made such a positive effect throughout my entire life right up to today. The sadness that I am experiencing now transcends anything that I can succinctly put into words! Mr. Wells will be missed by many-many people and today I am grieving from this monumental loss! Rest in Peace Mr. Wells and I will never ever forget you!
