Janice... I just received the news. I´m so sad. Bill was a fabulous guy. So thankful you both came out to Dewees Island..the last visit we had. I remember walking the beach with him and having such a great talk. Much love to you and your children. I live in Black Mt now...if ever you are headed this wayLaura Davis

I am thinking of all of you as you miss Bill and his big, wonderful presence. Bill was one of the most influential people in my life, and meeting him, becoming his friend and working for him changed the trajectory of my career and life. He meant more to me than I can say in words here. Love, peace and prayers for all of you. What a beautiful and lasting legacy he leaves behind.

Bill always wore a smile which evolved from a great heart and quick mind. We were in Key Club together and became quick friends. My fervent prayers for Janice and their family
