Dear Robin--Dawn--Justin--Matthew!
I want to express to you that I
appreciated your father ---- father-in-law ---- grandfather ---as a wonderful man.
You were his family but what a great home he had for 14 years with Brigitte! This to know must make you feel happy forever.
Bill was proud of all of you!

Dear Bill!
Thank you for being there for these many years in Brigittes life and also in our "California life" whenever we visited. I remember you as Brigittes and our quiet but steady and very pleasant companion for a lot of things: dinners, breakfasts, trips, and babysitting even...you seemed not to bother anything at all!
We´ll miss you, also in Sascha´s name!
Rest in peace! Nina

Our condolences to Bill's family and to Brigitta who made the last years of his life a wonderful adventure. He was kind and gentle and we enjoyed talking to him about his love for baseball and the good old days.

Dear Brigitte
We never met Bill but from reading all these special memories from your friends and family, he was clearly a kind and generous spirited man who was a great companion to you for the 10 years of your lives together. We hope that you can always remember those good times. We are thinking of you.

We always enjoyed our times with Bill and Brigitta. We remember just last year we spent a morning with both of you at Crystal Pier having breakfast and taking a lovely walk along the ocean. Bill, we will always think of you as we walk around Crystal Pier. It is times like this that are special.

Liebe Brigitte,Wolfgang und ich möchten Dir zu Bills Heimgang Dir unser herzliches Beileid aussprechen. Leider haben wir Bill nie persönlich kennengelernt, aber immer wenn wir Dich trafen, hast Du so viel Gutes berichtet, daß wir uns ein Bild machen konnten.
Wir senden Dir einen stillen Gruß und wünschen Dir viel Kraft für die folgende Zeit.

Dear Bill! Years ago we had a wonderful summer in yours and Brigittes home. Since I am catholic too we had lots of talks about it. There was good understanding and hope to meet you in next life! Karin

I will always remember "Mr. Sanchez" as the kind, honest, and patient father of my life-long friend. Always supportive and a man I was proud to know and look up to. Everyone fortunate to have spent time around him is a better person for it. He will be missed greatly.

Goodbye to a quiet, peaceful gentleman. We had a couple of laughs
during my employment with Brigitte.
Nothing seemed to bother you and I
learned from that. You will be remembered. Adios, amigo.....

A fond farewell to Bill, my sister Gittie's constant and steadfast support . You were her emotional rock, always loyal and supportive by her side. It was warming to have known you, a self-effacing,unpretentious man free of all resentment, who appeared to be in complete harmony of thought and word and deed. An inspiration to us, as you showed us that Goodness is the only investment that never fails. Rest gently, dear Bill.
With warmest regards
Heidi Darley and family

As Brigitte`s sister I want to express my sad feelings. I had the pleasure and priviledge to spend very much time with you, Bill ,whenever my partner Helmut and I were in S.D., and that was 6 times always for several weeks. We learned quickly that you didn`t ever insist of getting attention but you seemed happy whereever you were. What an exceptional person. So easygoing and without any expectations. you didn´t even mind to share rooms (4 Persons!) when we went on trips.
You proudly spoke of your family and yoour professional career and the moment, wehen yoour life was in danger.
Last year you did not seem in best condition and I worried. But you "recovered" well and had another good year at Brigitte´s side. What an empty place will be there!
Bill, yoou were there and we will miss you in future visits.
Thank yoou for your friendship. Helga

Bill will be missed dearly. His calm and loving spirit affected us all, including Cameron, our 7 month old, whom we frequently caught Bill quietly playing with much to Cameron's delight.
We are grateful for the care and love Bill showed through the past 10 years to Brigitte, and know that he will be sorely missed.
Poppa Bill - we miss you! May you rest in peace and your spirit stay with us always.
Love, from Randall and Linda
