Tributes
"For the little time we got to know Bill, we found a person of intrinsic artistic talent and a person who gave exemplary service to his fellow man. He and his late wife, Sheila, loved nature as witnessed by their beautifully landscaped property. We are new to Bill's neighborhood and we were not honored to have known his late wife, but in speaking with the neighbors we learned that Bill and Sheila were a "really nice couple." It was an honor to know the man. We wish we had been able to meet Sheila. We missed Bill as soon as he left his home for life at an assisted living facility. We will cherish his memory."
