"Collette....... Oh my God. I am so sorry. I JUST LAST WEEK ( after all of these years) looked Bill up on LinkedIn. I was thinking about you guys wondering how you, Bill and the girls are doing!! I saw that Bill was with another company since 2015. I even told my current boss that Bill taught me sales. He hired me against his better judgment but he catapulted my sales career!!!! I use ?Teachings of Bill Churchill? everyday!! Lake Tahoe Memories will be with Kenny and I forever! Remember?? Lauren was there too!?????? I will keep 200-2003 in my heart forever. "

"Bill was not only a great manager, he was a great person. I consider myself blessed to have known him. He was an exemplary leader, husband, father, son & friend. When he found out that I volunteered with children with cancer at UMC, he insisted on bringing toys for them during one of our work trips. We went to the hospital to deliver toys. He immediately got on the floor to play with a little boy and a fire truck he had gifted him. They were both so happy! That was Bill. My condolences to Collette, Lauren & Morgan. God?s blessings to you! Angelica (Martinez) Weber"

"The world lost a very good man this week. Bill was my Manager at Medimmune for about nine years, and I will be forever grateful for his influence in my career, and in my personal life. I owe so much of the success that I have enjoyed in my life to Bill. Although he was extremely successful in his career, he always put his family first and in turn, he expected his employees to do the same. I am a better person for having known Bill and for that I will be forever grateful. He will be very missed but never forgotten.
With Love, Zach Davie"

"I meet Bill in the early days of our pharmaceutical career in Ventura. We have been friends for more that 25 years. We stayed in touch and visited each other in Chicago, Phoenix, New Jersey, Simi Valley and Agoura. It was my privilege to be at Bill and Collette?s wedding and get know Lauren and Morgan as little kids, then hear Bill talk about them through out the years. ?Churchie? is one of the funniest people I have ever met and would always be up for a laugh, I am going to miss those times. During one of our cross country moves, Bill was the first to call and make sure we were getting settled, a true friend. I love you brother, vaya con dios!
Matt

"I worked with Bill at MedImmune . He was kind, smart and thoughtful. The love he had for his wife and girls was evident as he often spoke of his family and their upcoming weekend activities or vacations. One personal memory was spending a few hours, while waiting out a travel delay, walking around the monuments in Washington DC and having lunch at the Old Ebbett Grill. RIP Bill and many prayers for the family. -Jeff Combs"
