What a great unselfish man Bill took the time and patience a few years ago to show me how to hook up the salmon on the river he was a great mentor and therefore became a good friend over the years the we’re going to miss him on the river and his friendship but he won’t be forgotten by the guys from Ohio and elsewhere I’d say he’s up above teaching how to catch fish rest in piece Bill your going to be missed god bless you Bob Appel

Dear Ruth & Family, Thinking of Bill brings a smile to our faces. Bill was an important fixture in our lives along with Ruth. So many wonderful times spent together: biking, dining out on ribs, tacos, Super Bowl parties, and sharing lives. We have lost a true gentleman and a dear friend. May he rest in peace and may his memory be forever a blessing. Barbara & Jack Rosenthal, Montreal, Canada

Ruthie and family, our deepest sympathy on the loss of your wonderful husband and father. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him. Ruthie, we will always remember the best of times we shared with you and Billy during our many winters together in AZ! The cook outs, biking, the Cycle Masters' club gatherings, Super Bowl parties, seeking out the desert blooms, and card games. It was the very best of times with the very best of friends. Sending you our love and heartfelt thoughts and prayers.
