My heartfelt sympathy to Bill's family.  We were connected through a family line.  Bill and I spent many hours on the phone, working from a distance solving genealogy questions together.  Bill had such a vast knowledge of history, I loved hearing about his early days in Reno.  I shall miss my friend very much.  Rest in peace.

Condolences to Bill‘s family. He was my neighbor for about 15 years. It’s odd to know that he’s no longer in the house. I, along with many other folks here, enjoyed hearing about the history of our neighborhood. He was a bit of an icon and I will miss seeing him out and about.

My good friend.  More not need be said. Rest in peace.
