Bill and I met for a brief space in time when He was the commander of our Armor OCS company at Fort Knox in 1967.
A warm man that made our experiences that much more rewarding.  

For Kitty and family:

Our hearts are heavy after the news of Bill's graduation to heaven.   We met while serving with Association of Washington Generals and the the immense project he took on the immense SV Nikolai Memorial.  What an amazing  and patient man!  He was the AWG commander and the one who welcomed me to the association.  

Bill, you will always be remembered for your passion to serve.

I started working for Bill & Kitty at the Antique Mall when I was in my early 20s (almost 30 years ago).  After a time they gave me the position of office assistant for Bill at NW Office Furniture Sales.   He took me under his wing, and had the patience of a saint as I made mistake after mistake learning the ropes of the office furniture business.  Bill was so kind and generous, had a wonderful sense of humor and treated us all like family.  He is, in a way, responsible for MY family as he introduced me to my ex-husband, Jim Veritch - the father of my children. He was an incredible man, and I am SURE he is making his presence known in heaven, just as he did here on this earth!

It was an honor to serve with Commanding General Bill Sperry on the Board of Directors for the Association of Washington Generals. Bill was project director for the Diah Veterans Memorial in Neah Bay and the SV. Nikolai Memorial near the entrance on the road to MT. Olympus in the Olympic National Park. It was pure joy working with him as he brought out the best in everyone who worked with him. He was a force of nature that was unstoppable and a favorite son of Mother Earth. May Sister Moon shine on his memory and let it be a reflection of greatness and a life well-lived. When the drums beat in a circle to honor his life they will sing his name in praise to the Great Creator.

Bill was not only an Army buddy, but we graduated together from The University of Puget Sound. Having Bill with us at OCS at Fort Knox made us all better officers. Not only was he a man of high integrity, but I so enjoyed his sense of humor. 

I knew Bill from his winter stays at Burrwood RV park in Arizona. I'll always remember him as generous and adventurous. Can't forget the great meals he and Kitty prepared for everyone in the park. Miss you, Bill.
