William "Bill" Lovejoy Hecht

Hello Brad. This is Roberta (Garrison). I am so sorry to learn of the loss of your brother, Bill.
You have my deepest sympathy. Holding you and all of Bill´s family members and loved ones in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember going out to Adele´s in Carson City back in the 90´s with a group of friends from IGT to see Bill and his Jazz Trio band a couple of times. They were fantastic! He was a great musician and genuinely nice guy to work with. My sincere condolences.

Shocked and saddened by Bill´s sudden passing, my bruised heart shall always remember his delightful smile and extraordinary musical talent. Tall, handsome, intelligent and gifted, He will forever be remembered by me and our Jazz Community. Bill played on my Big Band Jazz Album beautifully with the RJO Orchestra. Sharing the stage with him was a joy while with the Nevada Opera Company. To his Family, know that it was an honor to know Bill. Thank you for sharing him with us in Reno for these many years. With Love, Jakki Ford

Bill was a good friend singing in the Nevada Opera chorus with us. His talent on the piano with his various jazz groups was phenomenal. I will miss him.
