Bill will be sorely missed by so many people including me. We were friends for over 20 years. I enjoyed our conversations that were always intriguing yet somehow end up in belly laughs. Biking and cross country skiing were always an adventure with him. He introduced me to new music and art forms, some that still surprise me. Bill had a good heart and was not afraid to show who he was. I will always remember him.
