Bill was a very special soul. His spirit was unpretentious and true. I am better for knowing him. We never met in person. We met through mutual friends from Bills’s New Orleans days. We corresponded via letter, email, and phone conversations. He was and is one of the kindest people I have ever known. I still miss you my friend.

I went to highschool with Bill and remember him to be kind, fun and wonderfully talented.
My family has been deeply entrenched in the AA program so I understand your son’s/brothers struggles. Blessings to all of you as you seek to find meaning in his loss. My condolences.

I was a long time ago classmate of Bill’s. I am so sorry to hear of his passing, and wish to offer my sincere condolences.

Seeing Bill’s obituary in the newspaper was a real shock. I last saw him in winter 2007, shortly before I moved from Lincoln to Friend. Initially Bill and I got acquainted via our mutual love of music, particularly folk and rock. When I lived in Lincoln, we used to spend quite a lot of time hanging out together to play and listen to music. We played at open mic stages in Lincoln sponsored by LAFTA (Lincoln Association for Traditional Arts). During the early ’80s, we attended a Jackson Browne concert in Lincoln. He told me about his battles with alcohol and drugs, and once he took me to an AA gathering. He was a special guy, and I’ll definitely miss him. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in his family.

Bill and I were friends long ago. I bought my only guitar from him in 1976.

This guitar has many names burnt into it. One of them is “Sunnie”.

I am sad to hear of his passing. ODAT. (One day at a time, my friends)

I had hoped to meet with you again, my friend!
