William C. Nowlin Jr.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am very saddened to hear this. The few conversations I had with him were interesting and the Nowlin family has always been some of the nicest and most genuine people I know. Please let me know if you need anything or if I can do anything for you. Much love and prayers.

Kathryn and Lesley, I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember your dad being a nice soccer coach for us when we were younger. He was a good teacher to a large group of young, rambunctious girls! I'm thinking of you all and sending my condolences to the entire family, especially Mrs. Nowlin. Sincerely, Allison (Harris) Craig

Bill always knew what he was doing. If he were guessing, you wouldn't know it. He was a futurist, but had a deep appreciation for history. He was an engineer, but he was also an artist. Great characteristics that combined to make him a very special person. Our hearts go out to Bettye, Carla, Kathryn, and Leslie and to all the Nowlin family.

I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing! I, too, grew up with Bill, Bettye, and Jane in Littlefield, TX and Bill was in my class of 1967. So many memories of Bill and the Nowlin family in Littlefield and First Baptist Church there. It was so good to see Bill and Bettye at our 50th class reunion although I didn't get to visit with y'all much. May God comfort your family and His presence be felt in the coming days. Prayers and hugs! Frances Hampton Meigs

My sincerest condolences to Bettye and the Nowlin family. He was older than me, but so well liked and admired by my sisters, Marcia and Janie, who went to LFD high school with you both. Thank you both for the attention you have brought to the beauty and fragility of this world.

I am truly sorry for your loss but also I'm quite proud that Bill and I share the same hometown and a love for The Nature Conservancy.

I believe that Bill might have been in grade school with my brother Robert. In fact, the entire Nowlin family was well known and respected in Littlefield in the 50s & 60s. His accomplishments should be a model for others who come out of small Texas towns.

I worked for TNC for 19 years and I thank the Nowlins for their many contributions in helping to protect the Texas environment. Thank you.

My condolences to the Nowlin family. I have fond memories of my time working for him at NI.

We are blessed have known him. We will treasure memories and time we spent together. Love you always, Bill.

We send our condolences to Bettye and the family on your loss of Bill. We will remember his warm smile and the times we enjoyed with y'all, as well as his generous service as a board member for the Mozart concerts, and his many talents as well. We pray that your hearts will be comforted during this difficult time.

Bill was a generous friend and benefactor to the organizations he loved. I met him through McDonald Observatory. He was always warm, friendly and encouraging, never snobish. His upbringing in Muleshoe insured that he could talk to people at all levels. He had a curiosity about the world and used his support to enable others, especially our students, satisfy their own curiosity.
