Bill will always be one of our most lovable, never-to-be-forgotten "crazies" from our Jesuit Class of '62....simply a great guy and a great friend...Bill, I will do my best to assure that your love-of-life example endures in me, and in the remaining years of my life....Cheers, Good Buddy...

I just found out. I can't believe someone so full of life is gone. Mr Bill was always very kind to me. A Great Guy and he will be missed. Just can't believe it.

I didn't know Bill after our days together at Jesuit High but he was easily one of the most entertaining guys I've ever known. He was a real cut-up with a great sense of humor, yet a good student and someone who cared about his school and friends.

Bill, you will be greatly missed everyday. These past years you have been an amazing presence in my life. I will miss our almost daily conversations about everything design, your invaluable advice, and most of all about enjoying life! All of these memories and much more will be cherished forever. You were a brilliant, kind man that would do anything for anybody and you always had a solution! You were more than just a business acquaintance you were a great friend. Rest in peace friend.

Very sad to hear. Dollar Bill was a quite the gentleman! Honored to have worked and known him! I'm sure I won't be alone in saying that the world was better for having had him around.

wha a man. I worked with 'dollar' Bill for only a few years, but he always had a word of wisdom to share. A fun man who thought about exactly how he wanted to have fun. Trvel well my friend.

Bill was always gracious and kind to me, and one of the things I admired most about him, is that he certainly seemed to know how to live life to the fullest and make the best of any situation. I heard someone once say, “No one told us the life would be a party; by while we are living we might as well DANCE!”
Bill, I would say may you “Rest in Peace”, but I am sure wherever you are now you are kicking up your heels! I wish you God speed and have a good ride!
I offer my deepest regrets and sympathy to all of the Dufrechou family!

As our tears shed and our broken hearts try to heal, Gina and I are reading our text messages dating back many years...Some sad, silly and serious, but most are happy. So my old friend, we recall the times we shared with you and cherish the memories we wouldn't trade for gold, because the love and laughter will live long after, all the sadness and the tears. We are honored and privileged to have shared precious moments with you my brother and we will miss you forever,....."Till we meet again Arnaud"......"Good Bye My Old Friend"
