Dear Melanie, Kate and Justine.

Its with great sadness that I found out that Bill has passed away.
Please accept my deepest and sincere condolences.
Bill will always remain a great man and a gifted scientiste.
I will laways keep him in my heart a a friend, first research director and my mentor.
RIP my dear friend.

Bill was a brilliant and admired colleague. I was fortunate to work with him at Tulane. My heart-felt condolences to his family.

I had the pleasure of working with Bill long-distance on a project, over the span of a couple years. He had brilliant mind, and a kind heart, and I am glad to have known him. I only was able to meet Bill in person one time, when he and his wife were in my area touring prospective colleges for and with their daughter. We had a lovely dinner at a the home of my employer, and while we did talk work projects some, mostly it was an enjoyable, "civilian" dinner, conversing about all things life. My heart goes out to his family, I will always have fond memories of Bill, and the impact he hoped to make in the lives of the people living with HSV. He was truly dedicated to his work, an inspiration. Peace be with you.

Very sad to hear.
He pushed so hard for a cure to herpes and if it wasn't for this guy, the potential for a solution to this horrible condition would still be decades away. Hopefully there is a solution coming soon...so thank you Bill Halford - the world has lost an amazingly good person x.

Dear Melanie, Justin, and Kate,

We were very saddened to learn yesterday that you lost Bill. He was a very good friend and colleague to me, and I know he was a great father and husband. We wish you strength now and happiness for the rest of your lives. Justin and Kate, you have been very fortunate to have had Bill as your father for your first 2 decades. I hope that Bill's strength and optimism will bring you strength now and will bring you happiness for the rest of your lives.
With our deepest condolences and our love,
Ed and Karen Schmidt

My deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Halford. May the Lord receives him in his throne. And thank you for fighting for those without a voice. Rest in peace

My condolences to the family of Dr.Halford. May his soul rest in peace and may his loved ones and all those he helped feel at peace to have had such a kind and self-less person in their lives.

Bill Halford was a visionary scientist with a cast iron determination to help humanity through his work, and the absolute conviction to deliver on that vision. Bill was also a man with a wry sense of humour, deep kindness, and of principled courage. It was an honour to meet him and to spend time with him. This is a stunning loss, and I know everyone who had the privilege of knowing Bill will send their deepest sympathy and condolences to his wife Melanie and family. Bill has given hope to millions where none existed, and created a legacy which will change lives beyond all measure for the good. There are few of us who have the chance to do something momentous in life, and Bill both had it, seized it and delivered on it. We who are left owe him a debt that can never be repaid except in remembering the selfless devotion to others that Bill displayed throughout his career and, perhaps, by trying in our own fields of endeavour to be more like him. RIP.

My thoughts and prayers are with Bills entire family, although it has been years I will always remember him as a nice and thoughtful guy. So sorry for your loss.

My heart felt condolences to the Halford family. I didn't know Dr. Halford personally, but have been following his blog. His passion for science in the interest of mankind will be one of his many legacies, along with the magnificence of helping millions and millions of people worldwide. Keep close to one another.

Melanie I'm so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Heaven gained another Angel too soon. My prayers are with you and your family during this time.

You have my deepest sympathy Melanie, Justin & Kate,

Though I had only a few direct conversations with Dr. Halford he was without a doubt one of the most inspiring, dedicated, thoughtful, and professional, people I have ever met. May he rest in peace with the knowledge that the work he did in life was important, that it was and will continue to be the inspiration for many others, and that his passion will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family in this time of loss.
