Bill was dear to so many of us, in so many ways.  He was a beloved son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, band brother, friend, neighbor, boss, and colleague.  More important was his role as father to his cherished daughter and son, Katherine and Robert.  He was, and still is, the love of Lark's life, his wife of nearly 44 years.  And we can't forget what his darling Amos meant to him.
We were all continually amazed that one person could be blessed with so many talents, be it designing, creating, fabricating, building, repairing, playing, riding, loving, and just plain enjoying life.
