The reality of Bill’s death continues to sting for me. He was just such a distinctively delightful man.

As I read all the stories here, I found myself continuing to say, “Yes, that happened to me with Bill” or “Bill did that for me too,” or “I saw Bill do something just like that.”

My two lessons from this: He was such a wellspring of a person that he could bring so much to so many. Secondly, he had such genuine integrity that he was the same in nearly all settings, with nearly all different people.

Bill, you were an exceptional gift in my life. Thank you.
