Billy was spontaneous and always so much fun to be around. John Iliff and all the kids we hung around with left nice memories. The cherry bomb at Washington Jr High still leaves me cracking up remembering how deafening it was in the theater.

Bill was a very talented man. He had many different
interests. He pin stripped my son's car using colors
I never thought would work. He had an unique eye
for the unusual. I remember some of the personal
conversations we shared. He will always be missed.

I'll never forget racing him down Blanco Road, Billy in his orange Z and me in my orange XKE, both pretty fast cars in the 70s. Once I figured out Bill knew no limits, I let off and he won. Satisfied with the win, and being the guy he was, he let me keep my pink slip. Rest in peace, Michael Berube
