William R. Olds

Dear Astrida,

I just found out, or I'd have written sooner. Bill was a rare and lovely guy: passionately committed to civil liberties, yet possessing the rare gift of winning the respect and even the affection of his opponents. He set the gold standard for his successors at ACLUCt. I treasure the memory of our long association and I mourn his passing. My best to you and yours.

Astrida - Sheryl and I were away when Bill died, and just learned last night of his death. How very many years have passed since we were neighbors on Canterbury Street!

Bill was a great fellow - we still have copies of the photograph Bill took when Hanna was born - it's on her birth announcement.

Our thoughts are with you and your family - we'd love to catch up and will give you a call.

I have such fond memories of Bill, of our lunches together, and of the delicious dinners Paula and I enjoyed at your table, Astrida. I never knew that I should have been calling him "doctor" until I read his obituary, another testament to his humility. I have lost a good friend but you, his family, have lost much more. Bill be greatly missed by many of us.

All of you are in my prayers during this time of grief. I only met Bill once and that was at James and Lisa's wedding in Denver, CO. It was a happy time for all and Bill had a few good days to enjoy being with his family. It was an honor to meet you Bill, I look forward to seeing you again someday.

Rest in peace

Your light will always shine in our hearts! Miss you so much Dad!

Astrida, my love and prayers are with you and your family. One of my fondest memories of Bill is my last visit and our picture in your beautiful back yard.
Although his voice has been silenced, his legacy lives on in the good he did for those who needed an advocate.

My thoughts and prayers go to you and your family Astrida. One of my fondest memories of Bill will always be the last time I visited you and the picture of the three of us in your beautiful back yard. His voice may have silenced, but his work leaves behind his legacy.

Although it has been years John and I wish to extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Astrida, sorry for you loss. Bill was the ultimate justice advocate.
