Truly a one of a kind! Nobody had his kind of character. Believe he is causing a ruckus of laughter and beauty in heaven. Hoping he says hello to my dear son Lucas

Oh goodness! I am just today learning of Bills passing today on July 10, 2024. Fond memories of much laughter and reminiscing from long ago! Every year on Christmas eve i remember the sentiment we laughed about one day regarding a birthday's that also fall on a holiday..."And here's your Christmas/Birthday gift". Also fond memories of a few deep conversations and tears. Bill offered to go rescue one of my kids swept away by a religious cult. He was serious, and ready for action. I am so greatful for seeing some of the multi-facited aspects of Bill, including hearing about how proud he was of his daughter the artist, and the jovial smile on his face with his wife Karen. Bill is a unique and rare gem. Miss him

Saddened to hear Bill is gone. My sympathy to Karen and all. I met Bill at Tim's Renaissance Ministries in 1984 when he handed me a tambourine. He was friends with George and supportive to him near his death and after, and to me. I know Bill was a man of faith and dearly loved. My sympathy to his daughter. I live out of state, but surely would have been at funeral had I known. I enjoyed hearing him perform. Thank you Bill As, God receives you into his kingdom, you will be in good company with those , musicians included, who have gone before you. Love and peace "Free" Frieda Hyton-Reid
