My deepest sympathies to the family. I have known Bill since 1974 and always enjoyed his many comments about management and how well I played golf. He had many laughs at how badly I played.

Bill grounded everyone. He was a constant, and a huge presence. His character was unmatched and although sometimes harsh it was greatly appreciated because he was 100% honest to his word and unapologetic. I will miss him when he said " hi huni, well you look pretty today". He trusted me to cut his hair regularly during covid and I will miss giving him facials and hair treatments because he acted like they were the best he ever had. He was so caring and had such a generous soul. Rest easy Bill, you will be greatly missed but I am so thankful you got to meet Sienna and I know you will be guiding us along.

I am so very sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. I am praying for peace and comfort for you all, Rosamaria. Bill and I go a long way back at Ceco and I still remember when you started there. I last saw you all not long after you moved to Georgia. I have kept up with you mainly through Gary K. I will miss Bill much.

An associate at Ceco in what seems like a lifetime ago ,as it is. Bill and I shared ups and downs during our careers and considered each other as equals and friends. I treasure his memory

We are so very sorry to hear of Bill’s passing and are praying for peace and comfort for you all, Rosamaria. We have fond memories of Bill from the very first time meeting you all after moving in the neighborhood and many chats and visits over the years. We love that we were able to share our Havanese brothers - Chico and Oatmeal - which immediately bonded us as families! What an unusual gift these days to have neighborhood friendships that span the years of watching our kids grow up and everything in between until we are now in our retirement years! I know you and so many friends will feel Bill’s loss immensely, and we pray your hearts will be warmed by sweet memories of your lives together and all that he meant to so many who loved him.

Billy was my dear friend. A straight shooter. I knew exactly where I stood with you Billy. You loved me and I you. I will miss you and I’m so glad I got to sit with you a few weeks ago. I’ll have a crown and ginger tonight Thank you for being one of the creators of the Calcutta! the best line judge for all of Nicks swim meets! I’ll watch the bachelor for you…yes fast forward to the end for just the rose ceremony. I loved how you were sad for the women who got kicked off. I know Chico is so glad to see you again. You’re free of pain Guillermo. Free to walk and golf and play tennis again. I’m so glad you got to greet your youngest granddaughter into the world! You were so very loved. I miss you Billy

Bill was a tennis partner, a walking partner, someone who let me into his home, someone who put me in my place, and allowed me to have a laugh with him. I kept him company for an hour just a few weeks ago. He had a great smile and a wit to go with it. Bye for now, Bill.
