I had the great good fortune of having Bill as a mentor and supervising attorney for several years at the AG office. My career and life would not have been the same without him. He was a wonderful example of professionalism, grace, humor and kindness. He encouraged and inspired me to do my best. I was truly lucky to know him and meet his lovely family. I’m so sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences on the loss of Bill. I knew him through his work as Senior AG for the Department of Transportation. He was a deeply kind and gracious man that I will always remember. I feel blessed at having known him.

I'm so sad to learn about the passing of Mr Williams as I knew him. Wonderful memories of spending time with his daughter Robyn at their house. He was very kind to me and I really appreciated that. Condolences to the their family

Bill was really the best boss ever. I worked for him on the Internal Management Review at the AG's office - he was one of those bosses who was willing to let you do far more than the simple "job description". He also made sure he would be the one to hand diplomas to my two kids when they graduated from Timberline in 2002. He will surely be missed by all who knew him. Sorry for your loss, Max!

I was so very sad to hear about Bills passing. I had the good fortune to work with him on a class action settlement and also in his school board role. When I told him I wanted to run for school board in another district, he lent me his large collection of school board publications. He brought the same intelligence and dedication to his community work that he brought to his outstanding legal career. What I remember the most, though, was his kindness. He always listened with an open heart. My deep condolences to Maxine and the family.

before the pandemic ruined all plans, Bill & I were looking forward to a nice long visit, beginning in April when my Washington Nationals team was scheduled to play his Seattle Mariners. I planned to show off my new great-grandson, Alex, whose parents had recently moved from Austin to Seattle, and to renew my acquaintance with Rachel & her family and with Robyn and her cute and adorable companion Hank. I count it as a particularly cruel fate that I never saw Bill again. Like most brothers, Bill and I were competitors as well as collaborators. I hate it that he beat me to the finish line on June 13.

Please know that my thoughts are with you, Max, and your family. Bill was my classmate and friend, as you know. He was an intelligent, nice guy and he will be missed by all. He left a large footprint on this earth. He was one of the Good guys.
With warm thoughts,

To Bill's family, you have my deepest condolences. When Bill moved out of Tanglewilde he bestowed everything he had collected on the history of Tanglewilde. It has been a great honor to carry this role. He spent time telling me stories of the old neighborhood, when it was new. He loves life and his community deeply. He was a good man. His presence will be missed.
