Sandie and I remember fondly The days in the coffee shop in Kirkland. We felt an immediate friendship. Though we both moved (in separate directions), we still to think of you often and fondly. The love you two displayed for life and for each other was infectious. You've left a mark on our hearts that can't be erased.

Richard Johnson. Bill will always be in my memory for his strength, sensitivity, good humor and intellectual curiosity. I know he had great faith in the Lord.

Bill brought love, light and laughter into my sister's life. He made her feel loved, respected and adored. He easily became a valued and special part of our large family. Always gracious, always the gentleman, and a teaching force to all who knew him. I love you, Bill. Thank you for being my sister's prince.
