Dear Ann,

Today someone at Kevin's work brought up Bill. We were so surprised and sorry to hear this news. We think of you often and have some special memories of time with you and Bill.

I remember, during dinner at our house many years ago, you telling us all about this "great guy" you'd just met and exploding bathroom fixture. He was a great guy and that is something to be cherished. All of our best - David and Kevin

I am late to learn of Bill's passing, yet it saddens me greatly . Bill was an all around good man..........well respected in Spokane & also at Washington State. He was witty wise & always a straight up guy. The world is a little less bright without him in it. Condolences to his family..........but revel in the wonderful memories you all shared. He was very proud of his family!
