Bill is one of the kindest, generous, happiest person I have ever met! He will truly be missed! May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow as Bill did for many others.

My Dearest Friend and love will always be grandly a live in song, humor and gentle loving spirit.
We new each other for 46 years and married for 25 of those 46. It is impossible to state how much he means to me and always will.

XOXO to infinity and past

Your loving wife and friend

I worked at Petar's in Lafayette and can remember Bill singing around the piano bar with his friends and fellow singers. He was always such a nice guy with a great voice. There were people I always remembered from working there and he was one of them.
You can sing to the angels now Bill.

Condolences to his loved ones.

I was so saddened to read of his passing so young. Bill used to come in to Maximillian's in Walnut Creek across from Lesher Center nearly every weekend in the late 70's as we had a piano bar, I was the waitress and he sang my favorite song Dulcinea. I loved his singing, he even came to my mothers hospital room and sang to her...I always said that helped her through. What a voice, a gift and he used it well, he spread love and joy everywhere to everyone. Rest in Heaven sweet Bill, you earned your wings! Peggy McKee

Having worked with Bill many times over the years with DLOC & CCMT and seeing his accomplishments in theater as an artist, technician and musician, I am expressing my personal feelings as well as those who worked with him on many DLOC shows over the years. My condolences to his family on his passing.

Oh Bill - words cannot express the sadness I feel. To know that your beautiful voice and wonderful sense of humor (and the absurd) are gone from this mortal plain. I knew you "back in the day" when it was still the "Nut House", not the Lesher. I remember the really fantastic portrayals you did of characters. You were always consistent and I can't think of a time that you weren't the best of friends. You could make a stone laugh. Too many years out of touch, I could read reviews and remember. You were a good man and the world has lost someone truly special. To your family and friends, most sincere condolences - a life so short, but well spent. Rest in Peace Bill.

I will always remember Bill fondly. His beautiful voice is the one I hear whenever I think of so many songs. Bill's generous, and humor loving spirit helped bring light to some tough times. My sincere, heartfelt condolences to all who loved him.

I cannot imagine the void created to those who knew Bill on a more personal level but, for someone who only spoke with him on the phone, I could tell he was someone special. Only knowing Bill for a short time (1 year) he made an impact on me that he was well versed in his work as a datacenter manager and was a wonderful resource for someone fairly new to the environment. He displayed his caring nature by always being willing to help his fellow teammates. I pray for Strength and Peace for all the family and friends who knew him best.
