Bill, I'm sorry that I didn't get to see you at the reunion but I loved our talks before that. You were the best lab partner I could have asked for. We will miss you. May Heaven gather you up and hold you close. I know you will be watching us.

To Don, Marie, Heather, and Sandra, Bob and families.



Our best memory of Bill was at Muncho Lake around a bonfire. Bill could keep us in belly laughs for hours. He had a wonderful way with words. I feel touched that we had that time with him even though so short.

I will miss Bill and all his questions about where everyone is and what everyone is doing these days, something he has done even just a year or two out of highschool. Thanks to Bill and his efforts, I know many of us have continued to stay in touch or rediscovered old friends.

Bill,



How ironic that you are taken from us after all you have done to get so many of us together. We will remember you always and especially in 2007 when we pay tribute to you at the "Decade of Fun" reunion.



I hope you find someone to play Uno with.

We know that you are looking down upon us all, laughing to yourself, knowing that your odd litle pieces of ART are to be even more cherished than perhaps they ever had been before. But the truth is we'd all rather have you still among us, with the quirky art still prized but under valued. Your departure has come all too soon, but we shall meet agian one day. Rest well, friend.

My condolences go out to all those who have lost such a special person. I had not seen Bill since our days in school, but was fortunate enough to have spoken with him on the phone a few times in the last couple of years. Bill was a wonderful person and it is with much sadness that myself as well as all that new him must say goodbye. My thoughts and prayers our with his family and friends at this most difficult time.

Sincerely Cheryl Williams

Bob: No words can express the sorrow and disbelief that I am feeling and no words, at this time, can heal your pain. Please know that Bill will forever stay in our hearts as a kind & generous man, who was always willing to share his love for life with his friends. He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. With all my love, Marg.
