Dori, I was so saddened to learn of your Bill's death. His evocative obituary truly captures his spirit - and what a great spirited soul he was! You two were so well suited for one another. I cherish my memories of the years in which our families spent time together. Know that my heart aches for your loss. Susan

Loved Bill , he got into living a life for others
as well as all kind of Creatures of the Creator's Hand
A friend to those with stingers, horns and bills.
His rough, strong hands, were balanced to a gentle kind spirit.
He could teach with a whisper Or no words at all.
Blessed is Bill the messenger of peace.
on a Holy Mountain, now Home to a Sacred Embrace.
