Bill and I knew each other at Ohio University down in Athens, Ohio... We played in a bunch of bands together then I move back to New York. He followed me there, and then I moved out to LA to work for CBS records where we still stayed in contact throughout the years... Very sorry to hear of his passing. I loved Bill. Long may you rock brother.

I am much saddened to learn of Bill´s death . Bill frequented my house in Orange Village , an Orange HS teenager, and as a then a good friend of my older son Simon Oswitch. They were both car enthusiasts and into music . A gentle , kind young man with high intelligence .
I am grateful to have known him then .
My condolences to all of his family .
May his memory be for a blessing .

Bill not only inspired us to be better players, he inspired us to be better men, stronger leaders, more intelligent collaborators. It was an honor knowing the Legend.

Bill was instrumental, even crucial to the thriving music scene in Cleveland. His legacy is one to be proud of.

Bill, I learned so much from you about not only recording, but about work ethic, approach to life, humor, hotrods and brotherhood. Well done, my friend, take a bow. We´ve lost a true Ohio treasure.

My first professional band started recording with Bill in the late eighties. He became our friend and mentor for years and was incredibly supportive. He was truly one of the best people ever. Greg H
