Bill was one of the most warm hearted and gentle people I have ever known. His laugh was definitely contagious and his sense of humor razon sharp keen. I will miss his gracious style and his ability to lighten up a room.

I’m so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. He was a great guy and I will miss him. My prayers are with you Patrice.
Patrice, I will be keeping you and Bill in my heart and remember the great times we shared, especially Bill enjoying himself at our Lodge (deck) in Grass Valley. My blessing to you dear friend.
There’s a hole in our world right now, yet we cannot even fathom the pain you are experiencing, Patrice. You and Bill have been our rocks, our anchor, and we love you both. Someday, we’ll see the good of his passing. In the meantime, we’ll keep his memory alive.
Dear Patrice,
I’m saddened to read the news of Bill’s passing this morning. He was a great guy and a joy to be around; to laugh with, to debate with. And yes, to act with.
It was my honor just to be a small part of his life.
My thoughts are with you Patrice and I wish you comfort during this time.
Bill & Patrice were going to be new neighbors in Des Moines. I became friends with them while they were remodeling. Bill & Patrice were like a breath of fresh air in my life as we had very wonderful visits toegether. Bill always had interesting stories to tell and had a great personality. In the short time that I knew Bill, he was a honerable man who loved Patrice deeply. I will miss his laughter and company, but hope to keep in touch with Patrice. May God bless you always.
Patrice, you are in our thoughts and we would like to send you lots of hugs. It will be a hard journey without him, but time heals. Take care.

Patrice I only new Bill for a year but what a privilege and if I can be of any help please let me know-we had many wonderful conversations–ditto`s on all the above comments. Peace.
Dear Patrice: we are so very, very sad and sorry for you loss. Bill was a great guy to say the least and ever so helpful in our business over the last 22 years. We will miss him terribly. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you especially and all his family. Blessings, Julie & Ludger
Patrice, the first time I met Bill when I was 20 years old I just loved his sense of humor and his delightful personality. I was so thrilled to have friends like the two of you. Even though many years passed between visits his upbeat personality never changed from visit to visit. I am very sorry for your loss, our loss.
Oh Patrice, We are so saddened. We had no idea Bill had passed. Please accept our sincerest condolences.
1/9/2018 I had been thinking about Bill lately and today poked around on the internet and was surprised to learn he had past. Absolutely, Bill and I got along well as we both seemed to look for the humor in life. I will always think of him when I see one of the unique gifts he would come up with.
