He was a family man, an amazing dad to his three sons and daughter, and a beloved Poppy to his six grandchildren.

As a youth, spending time with Billy in Kingstree was like spending time with Huckleberry Finn. He was certainly one of the most amazing outdoorsman I have known. He dearly loved his children and spoke of them frequently. He certainly will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Bill was a powerful opponent in Tae Kwon Do, but more importantly he was a delightful and inspiring man to be around. He will be greatly missed!

Did not know Bill personally, but heard enough about him through Ford to know that the world lost an incredible man.

Please know that all of Ford's touring brothers are united in our sorrow and our support of the family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Bill was one of the strongest, most flexible, most dedicated students our Tae Kwon Do class has ever seen. His positive energy, great attitude, and joking nature will be sorely missed. He was always there, always working hard. We miss you Bill! Love to Suzen, Logan and family..
