Bill was a bright light - I'm deeply saddened to hear of his death so young. I have many fond memories of Bill growing up in Palo Alto. We have lost someone very special.

Our hearts go out to Bill's entire family. I met him just once, but immediately was taken by his very friendly nature. We talked about his work, and I remember how I thought he must be a great example for those he worked with. He did have a great smile and ebullient affect. May God Bless you and your family.

Gone too soon, cousin Billy. I can't come to the memorial but I will be thinking of your and your family. I don't know if I ever saw you without a smile on your face. Love, Dotty
