Bill was a very creative and bright visionary leader. 

The world is a better place because of his contributions and leadership.

I am thankful for being able to know and work with Bill at Complete Health and MACESS.

Mr.featheringill  will always be  in the heart of those he has helped,he will always be looking down on Mrs.featheringill,and  daughter all of,his beautiful Grandchildren.

It was truly an honor and a pleasure knowing and working with Mr. Bill. I am so sorry Mrs. Carolyn for your loss. I know he is watching over you from up above.

As Vandy freshmen, Bill and I both walked on with the football team, I as a manager/trainer and Bill as a lineman. He was a brilliant, interesting guy, and I am sad to learn of his unexpected death.

Mr Featheringill you will truly be missed.  I am former employee that worked for you. I can truly say you were a man of compassion for your employees and integrity that will never be forgotten.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family.  Bill was more than just a customer who bought lights from me, he was a wonderful man and my favorite customer.  He will be missed.

Bill was the reason I joined MACESS, where we all learned so much from his vision,  passion, and excellence. Now, up in Nashville, I am on the advisory board for the engineering department that bears his name--his generosity here in the Vanderbilt community is legendary. He reached so many of us in so many ways, and we all are better from knowing him and working with him.

Dear Carolyn:
I was making a sales call to Birmingham and the gentlemam I was speaking with, Al Simmons, was aware of Bill's passing. I was shocked, especially after just receiving the beautiful Christmas card. Mary and I so enjoyed our brief visit in Nashville this fall. I am so glad we made the effort to meet. 
My heart goes out to you and your family. I will keep you in my prayers. I was looking forward to knowing you both better.
Sincerely,
Jim Mahan

I was so sorry that I was unable to attend Bill's service.  We had fun in class at Ramsey, and fun talking.  What a legacy he leaves.  This time of year is especially hard, but God needed his help.  Mike will certainly be surprised to see him, and I'm sure they will have lots to talk about

Carolyn,
I hope the large hole in your heart right now is filled with many happy memories and hours together with family and close friends. RMWC '69

My Mother was Virginia Braswell & was the 2nd employee at Brookwood Hospital. As the hospital grew so did her friendships that she cherished until her death in 2008. One of those friendships was that of Bill Feathergill. She always said that he was a man that was not only large in stature but he was larger than life on the inside. She always took his thoughts and advice to heart. Mother know he was not only a very educated man but a man of truth and good advice. Mother was so lucky to have the friends she meet at Brookwood. But the friendship continued some years later when Bill went to Medical Center East. This was "the family hospital." She got to re-new her friendship with Bill. He always meet her with a HUGE smile and a hug. Thank you Bill for being my Mother's friend over the years. I know that she was at the Gates of Heaven to welcome you with her huge smile and warm heart. May you rest in peace. Cary Sue Braswell Calhoun

Bill loved politics. I enjoyed many an hour discussing it with him. Not always, but more often than not, the conversation would end with Bill saying something like, "How can I help?" Bill was perhaps the most generous man I have ever known. If he thought the cause was right he was part of the cause.

Dear Dr. Jack & family,
     So sorry for your loss.

It is a sad day, indeed. Bill's gifted touch will be missed as his presence and care of others touched many. My prayers are with the family during this time.

So very sorry to hear of Bill's death. Although we had not in touch for many years, I am amazed at what he had done for so many in Birmingham. May God bless Caroline and the family.

Deepest sympathy to all of Bill's family. May his memory be eternal.

We all that knew him will miss him.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Bill was the inspiring and natural kind of leader that would make following him a joy and often a comfort zone expanding experience. The world is a better place because of his contributions on so many levels.

Bill's passing was a most unpleasant shock.  He was a former Seabee Battalion Officer from many years ago.  A real gentleman and super individual.

I am saddened to hear about Bill's passing.  My heart goes out to his family.  I was fortunate to have worked closely with Bill for several years and experienced first-hand, his incredible intellect, vision and generous spirit.

Symapthy and regards to the family and friends of this distinguiished man.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Featheringill family. It was a blessed opportunity to work for "Feather". He was a rare genuine business and family man who left this world, and Birmingham, a better place.

I was fortunate to be employed in one of Mr Featheringill's companies for 10 years and spent many hours working with him personally. He was trully "one of a kind" and will be fondly remembered.

Thinking of you and your family.  Bill was a wonderful man and will be missed by many.  My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time.
