It’s impossible not to honor his memory and reflect on the remarkable impact he had. He was an inspiring figure to many, admired not only for his impressive professional achievements but also for the warmth and dedication he showed to those around him, especially Eduardo. He was a constant source of strength, guidance, and encouragement.
His legacy goes far beyond his career accomplishments; it lives on in the lives of those he touched with his kindness and wisdom. The lessons he shared and the example he set will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to know him.
With heartfelt condolences and deep admiration,

De verdad que era una deleite disfrutar esos paseos a los que nos invitaba por su sabiduria y experiencia pero ahora ya esta en un mejor lugar, Animo Ana y Eduardo lo extrañamos pero en algun momento lo alcanzaremos en ese viaje que emprendio, Abrazos de la Familia Gutierrez Espinoza.
I was so very fortunate to meet Ana & Bill Douglas in my early years of arriving in Ajijic. They took me under their wing and as such I experienced so much more of Ajijic in their generous presence. Bill brought me many diverse books to read so I would understand the geological aspect of this area of Mexico. They were such an aspiration to me. What a great couple who so enjoyed expanding my knowledge and experiencing the area and it’s history. Without their generosity I would never have come to know the history of this paradise they called Ajijic. Much love to you Ana and the remaining family and compassion for your loss. Always Wendy.
Tuve la suerte de conocer a Bill en mi adolescencia, donde aprendí muchísimo de su experiencia y trayectoria de vida. Bill era un gran hombre y sinceramente era un placer platicar con él. Ojalá que sigue compartiendo su sabiduría y que sigue disfrutando de lo que digue después de la vida aquí en la tierra. Un abrazo fuerte a Ana, Eduardo, y toda la familia. Johan Gutierrez Espinoza
I had the greatest good fortune to work with Bill in the field in Jalisco when he volunteered with our field project to make GPS measurements. We were studying deformation occurring due to the subduction zone and the crustal rift systems. He was a great person to have on our field team, and we never lacked for conversation, as we drove around to repeat our surveys at different benchmark sites in Jalisco and Colima. It was wonderful to also meet Ana and Eduardo starting at this time, and to hear news from them periodically even after our field measurements were finished. My condolences to the family. Bill and his family will be fondly remembered by all of us who did field work with him.
Ana and Eduardo, I was deeply sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. I greatly enjoyed his occasional emails with photos of the house in Ajijic, of his adventures traveling around Guadalajara, and of his jaunts up to the US to visit Eduardo and other folks here. I also appreciated that he would make time to stop by my office here in Logan for chats on occasion (and that he brought both of you along to our Christmas party years ago!) He was a remarkably inquisitive and gregarious fellow, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to get to know him.
