To Bill's family and friends, I was blessed enough to work with Bill for the last year. In that time he kept us laughing during our shared isolation of the pandemic. I'll miss his jovial and positive outlook on the day to day mundane tasks we worked together on.
We are all diminished by his passing, from my family to yours a very heartfelt thank you for sharing Bill with us on our shared journey. He will be very missed.

Merrilyn,
I was just going through the Journal and saw Bill's obituary. I am so sorry for your loss. I know it's been years since we used to hang out, but I have such fond memories of you and Bill.
You and Liz will be in my thoughts and prayers. Let's get together sometime.

I'm gonna miss you old friend. Didn't talk much lately but inseparable during the music years. The world was a better place with you here.

Merrilyn and Liz,
Marty and I are so sorry to hear of the loss of Bill. He was such a wonderful man and we have such happy memories of the many great times we met up to listen to him play his music or just hang out together so many years ago! May your happy memories help you cope during this difficult time of grieving. You both are in our thoughts and prayers. One love
