While it has been several years since Bill's death, I just became aware of it as part of an "In Memorium" associated with Bates class of 1987, 35th reunion. Bill and I were good friends for a time at Bates although I was a class behind him. If I'm being honest, smoking cigarettes was the first thing we had in common but we spent many hours opining (and he could do that very well) on the state of the world and how to fix it. We kept in touch while he was at LL Bean after Tuck but lost it at some point. He was always funny and kind and My deepest condolences to Walter and the rest of his family.

Rest peacefully. I graduated college with Bill and had the privilege of getting to know him during our senior year. Soft spoken and always kind, he was someone you could always count on. I am deeply saddened that he is gone from this world too soon and I wish peace for all those he loved and who loved him.

Bill, may you rest in peace. I know we have been out of touch for many years, but you were a very important part of my life at a very difficult time and I appreciated your support so much. Of course working together was always a joy, you were so quick thinking, hard working and you could be such fun. I always remember you fondly. My condolences Dorothy on your son's passing and at such a young age. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Dottie - I was so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. I am Beverly Lindahl and I was married to Dick Lindahl's son, Peter. I met Bill (and Levi) briefly several years ago at Dick's house on Littlejohn and he was "bigger than life"! A very happy and gentle soul! I'm sure you have a huge whole in your heart without him and his smile.

I will call you soon and introduce myself. Dick is at a nursing home in Portland but is doing better every day.

I remember William from first grade and insisting everyone call him William, not Billy. My condolences to his family and friends from another "island kid".

So sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy. I didn't get to know him well; but he was very friendly to his classmates of Yarmouth High.

I miss you Will. We became dear friends over the years. And I will always cherish the special bond we shared. We laughed, we cried, and we had our differences. But no matter what ,we where there for each other! Through good times and bad.I will always have our memories. I often think about how you changed our sleepy little neighborhood. You made a significant change for the better for Bay Acres. You pulled the community together, we actually got to know our neighbors. And developed new friendships with some. You made this possible. And I thank you! Now every year when the Christmas lights go up around the boat basin. I think of you! You will always be a part of Bay Acres. Rest in peace my freind. You will be greatly missed by all. Love you Will!
