Bill would always stop by Williams-Sonoma on his daily mall walks for sample of whatever I was cooking that day. We'd sit down later and have a cup of coffee and talk politics of the day. You'll be missed.
May God keep you in his loving arms for eternity.

Bill was a regular at the coffee shop where I work. He'd always greet me with a "Hey trouble! Make me a good drink!" and of course a smile. We always looked forward to visits from Bill, he had a way of making us all laugh and put us in a good mood. He will be greatly missed by all the employees there-who considered him much more than just a customer.

Almost every morning Bill would stop into our AAA office on Alexis Road. He would have a cup of coffee talk about weather. He would come in and use that bad four letter word "SNOW" and we would tell him not to say that word and he would just laugh. He also would come in and talk about the places he wanted to travel too. Bill will be sadly missed at AAA.

Most mornings, Bill would walk at Wildwood Metropark and then visit the Window on Wildlife to watch the birds. He'd then stop at the Visitor Center Office to share his nature sightings, the news or knowledge. I have a wonderful photo of him helping children learn to fish at Metropark's Nature Camp in 2007.
I lost touch with him when I retired and am very saddened of his passing. He was a good man.
