Coach was an enthusiastic member of our Music & Movement Class at Symphany Point. He always had a great smile and wonderful participation. Sadly I only knew him for a month, but am sure his legacy will live on! So sorry for the loss of "Coach".

Bill was my tennis coach way back in the day. He was a great tennis player, winning several awards. If I remember, won best in Omaha, not sure on that though. I express my sympathies to his family and friends.

Knew Bill from UNO and on the tennis courts in Omaha. Always a smile, a kind word and a conversation. He will be missed.

Always great to talk with Bill at shift change at Station 34. Enjoyed his humor and positive attitude. He will be missed.

My first memory of Bill was in the old Coliseum in Lincoln!
I was probably a 6th grader and watched Beatrice play Omaha Central in the 1st round of the Class A Tournament.
Beatrice was clearly outmanned by #1 Central!
But what a show Bill put on , I believe he had a triple double before there was such a thing.
I believe he had around 30 points , 11 boards, and 11 assists. He drove the Central coach and players nuts! The crowd loved his hustle and tenacity!
I got to know bill later as we played some hoops together and golf.
RIP Bill
Your Friend ,
