Bill I was thinking about you and searched for you on Facebook only to find you had gone home to Heaven. We first met in 1988 when I moved to Vegas out of the Army. You were always so kind and gracious to me. You were the consummate professional. We shared the stage only once on The Vicki Lawrence Show, but cheered one another of many occasions. You left a lasting impression on both Las Vegas and the tribute artist industry. May you Rest In Peace my friend

I met Bill ( or E.P. King as many knew him ) at Vegas World casino where Bill had his own show in the main showroom in the early 90s and I told him I was thinking of moving to this town to be an Elvis impersonator. He couldn't have been more encouraging telling me to go meet John Stuart, the producer and tell him that E.P. sent me, I moved to this town soon after and started working with Legends In Concert and having met so many other " Elvi" as we call them, I soon realized what a "cutthroat business " this really is... As I had more and more success and eventually bought the Graceland wedding chapel I would run into Bill over the years and he always was so happy to hear that things had turned out great for me... I would always remind him how kind he was to me .. Not a jealous bone in his body ...
Such a great entertainer , but more importantly a humble generous great man ... Thank you Bill for inspiring me ...

We are so sad to learn of Billy's passing. We met him in 1978 in Petersburg, Va doing an Elvis tribute and remained friends through the years. He was loved and followed by many fans , as Elvis and Sinatra. We traveled to Vegas twice to see him. So many precious memories. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.
