I am sure that the Callahan family is very aware that their beloved Dr Bill, was a god sent .Not just to me but to thousands of desperate clients.He saved me from a second suisid attempt, and even though I am an immigrent He always showed me the atmost respect, and compation, even when I was not so nice in my misery. He was the best ever human being I ever mat, he was part a compationet angel. I know he will be back and live again to the betterment of humanity. His fantastik knowledge and his good will is not lost. It is contained for iternity in his soul.God loves him and he is with him for just a while, for God to rejoyce in the greatness of his creation, before he comes again to teach and love us. Please take my sincerest condolencis. Elizabeth Horvath RN.

I met Bill the first time at a Laguna Playhouse event right after the death of my spouse. He was immediately supportive, kind and helped me during a difficult time. It was wonderful that he could connect to people so quickly. The world will miss this special soul.

Family and friends: I worked with Bill at the Dept of State. We
shared responsibilities in his AOR. He was so down to earth, so competent, so up for anything, so vigorous in his approach to helping others. A huge loss- my deep condolences.
