Bill was a sweet, gentle soul with many interests. I remember fondly our discussions about classic cars, antiques,collectibles and local history, on which he was an expert. Bill graciously shared his knowledge of Cadillacs and was never too busy to show visitors see his collection.
Family & Friends of Billy, I extend my Solemn Greetings from the Deep South. Bill was always an upbeat person and warmly greeted all he came into contact with. He became your immediate friend in a most humble manner. Clinton won't be the same, nor 8th Avenue South, without his presence. Godspeed Bill!
My Dear George & Lisa,
Our memories of Bill will always be the person who shared time with our family for special occasions. He was a gentleman and an interesting conversationalist, and we were privileged to have met him through you George. He was educated and charming and had a real zest for life.
George you were a positive influence and certainly his #1 supporter and advocate. I am so proud and touched by the thought and time you spent helping Bill to have the best of life even in his last days of life. You are a positive role model for humanity for advocacy and love. I know that Bill was pleased with the memorial service and we certainly all enjoyed his favorite foods.
Your loving sister, Linda and family Mike, Jen, Kassidy, Pete, Nikki, Reilly, Brady, & Kelsey
Dear friends of Bill,
I only had the opportunity of knowing Bill a few short days but it was a true pleasure. Even though this was of the most difficult time, Bill was pleasant and his personality was heart warming. I was the one whom was to be taking care of Bill, yet HE was the one concerned for me and how hard I was working because of my being pregnant. I know he will be dearly missed and I think of him often and our conversation on the last day he was here. Although his voice was only a whisper his words were very inspiring to me. God Bless You Bill, Rest In Peace.
I am saddened on learning of his passing. We talked of his struggles and his efforts to help others in a positive way. His strength and and courage were very inspirational to me. My condolensces to his friends and family.

I just learned of Bills passing. We met through our love of animals and greyhounds. A kind and gentle soul he was, and I consider it a privelege to have known him. The world will miss him and heaven will greet him with open arms.
