Despite a big difference in our ages, I considered Bill a good friend. Here are some of the things I remember about him. He was an honest and upright man -- one who deeply loved God, his wife and children, the outdoors and friendships. He left this life too soon, but I am grateful for having known him for most of the years Mary and I lived in New England. I'm sure he is waiting in that Northeast corner of heaven for the rest of us to join him. All in God's good time, of course. My prayers and love to all the family.

 I am so sorry for your loss. Loosing a loved one is one of the hardest things in life to endure. I want to share a wonderful hope with you. Acts 24:15 says that we have hope toward God, which hope men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection. Though this hope does not eliminate the deep loss we feel when we loose a loved one I hope this promise eases your pain until you see Bill again.

When I first met Bill at the Smyrna COC, I asked him what he liked to do for fun...he said, "bass fishing." I perked up and responded, "You're talking to the right man!" I said. "I'm going in the morning, do you want to go?" He accepted and the next day, while we chatted in my boat, he was catching one fish after another and I was doing nothing. That's when he taught me about the "wacky rig." It has become my go-to method ever since. I'll miss my fishing buddy and will think of Bill every time I toss my "wacky rig" into the water.

My condolences. I got to know Bill over many USA 500 luncheons, breakfast and even a round of golf at Shaker Hills Country Club in August 2015 where I witnessed Bill’s hole in one. Such a great person who will be missed.

I had the privilege of getting to know Bill as together we prepared for our USA500 talks. He was kind, gentle, funny, quietly charismatic and entirely inspirational. He lived life well and fully, and reminded us all how every day is unique and precious.
May his memory be a blessing to his family and all who knew and loved him.

I was very sorry to hear about Bill's passing. I knew him a bit from several business links and remember him fondly for his gentle nature and pleasant disposition. I always enjoyed chatting with Bill, especially about winter hiking trips that he encouraged me to enjoy. My condolences to your family. I'm sure your hearts are heavy, and I hope it is comforting to know that he will be widely missed.

Bill and I were members of the same chapter of USA500 Clubs in Boston. We golfed together a couple times. He was always positive, despite his health challenge; one of the true good guys. I am so very sorry to hear of his untimely death. Please accept my condolences.

Bill decided to tell our networking group about his Parkinson's diagnosis years ago. As he did he also wondered how to broach it to his clients.
True to form he said, 'Maybe I'll start my calls by saying Hi, it's Bill, what's shakin?'...
Bill was a wonderful man who's been missed since moving to Tennessee and will be even more so now. Wishing peace and strength to his family and all who loved him.

I heard Bill’s story as a member of the audience in 2018 at a USA500 event. It was so touching. I didn’t know him well, but he is a brother in Christ and I’m glad to hear he is in His loving arms. God bless

Lots of love and prayers for the family from Mary and I. The first time we met Bill and Susan had to be shortly after their wedding. Over the years as I was around Bill and worked with him at church and at Camp Gander Brook, I came to admire the man deeply and developed a close friendship even though he was 34 years younger than me. Mary and I both feel this way. He was a man with his heart in the right place and his head screwed on right. He was just a good man. I am deeply saddened that he is no longer with us on this earth, but look forward to a reunion time in heaven!

the first strong memory of bill in my life was at ganderbrook, he supported susan cooking in the kitchen, bringing his middle daughter brianna to the infirmary after an incident of holding her hand as she went to the floor as children sometimes do. he needed my help as fathers do and i bandaged the arm gave reassurance and sent them to the local clinic as just in case. dad and daughter came back ok, just a case of nurse maids elbow.

We are so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you during this difficult time. I am grateful to your dad for teaching you how to be so caring and loving, because both Briana and Christi were important caregivers in the kids early lives. ~The Shoemakers
