January 15, 2015
It's been almost a year since I wrote in the Guest Book - Dad you are always on my mind, I take you with me where ever I go - Especially on my nightly walks with "Mac" :)  I miss my "Rock/Gentle Giant" - Loves Always, Laurie

Missing you A LOT - Today (2/10/14) it's been two years - Feels like yesterday still - I miss you so much - Las Vegas isn't the same without you Dad - Love and Miss you SO MUCH, Laurie Ann (Lolo)

Well here it is 3 days after Christmas. This year was a lot of fun but a big part was missing, U! This was your favorite Holiday and you always made it super special. We didnt have " Santa Pepa" to hand out gifts .. You were here though :) 
 So tough to think just last year you were still here and were able to celebrate with us! I will cherish that memory for a lifetime. Cassie and Brent are getting so big... It breaks my heart to know they wont grown up with the amazing man i got the honor of growing up. Everytime i heard "Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer" it brought a smile and tears to my eyes. They are good memories! It seems like just yesterday i was 3 and you were holding me infront of a room full of people singing it with me at Toastmasters. ;) This year however was a bit different... After dinner there was no pinochle. That was your tradition! 

And as you know we are in a new home... Still doesnt feel like a home without you! 

I love you Pepa! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

The Whitmore's were nice enough to let us use their home while they were away :)  Thought of you "A LOT" we always had Thanksgiving with you all, and you LOVED the Thanksgiving Dinner - The other big news is the "Apple Cup" was in Pullman the day after Thanksgiving & we won (woo hoo) it was an awesome game the Cougs sent the Huskies home with their tails between their legs ;)  I LOVE and miss you "SO" Much, Laurie

Bill/Pepa was the most wonderful person ever a great dad n grandfather to all the grand kids and most of all the best husband ever to linda /Mema he  will always be in are hearts forever i'm so glad i got to know him  through the years big smile and always said hi to me. he will forever be missed  :) love you

Bill was involved in so many entertainment projects over the years and was such a huge help and mentor to me with the Three Dog Night Fan Club.  He had the beautiful, deep voice that I always recognized instantly when he called.  Bill always made you look up ... not just because of his height ... but more so because of his stature as an outstanding businessman in the entertainment industry.  I don't believe there was anything he couldn't resolve, as his negotiating skills were incredible.  We will miss him with a passion and remember him forever.  Madonna Nuckolls, (Garland, Texas)

Bill McKenzie was more like my uncle than a business manager. I have loved him from the first moment I laid eyes on him when I was 14 years old. I looked to him for guidance all my life. He helped me through school, college, and my first marriage which he attended. He gave me the best advice, and I will never forget all his wonderful words. I love you Bill, you will always be in my heart.  Dawn Wells-Cussins

Linda, Debbie and Family;
I am so very deeply saddened by the loss of Bill. We worked together on and off since 1982. I could always count on Bill. His heart was as big and deep as his voice. If I needed a solution to a problem he would provide it. He will always be a part of my Three Dog Night world and my life. I thank you for sharing him with us and I am a better person for knowing him.

Linda, Laurie, Sandy and Debbie - you have our sincerest condolences in the loss of your beloved husband and dad.  We know you will miss him terribly but hope you can find comfort in knowing he will always be a part of you.  God Bless your entire family.

Like everyone else who knew or especially worked with Bill over the years, I feel very lucky to have been in his influence.  He was a patient mentor and positive role model when I was younger and a great partner in the day to day business as the years rolled on.  Together we fought some tough battles and also had some great laughs and I was glad we were on the same team for both.
He was truly one of the good guys and I will miss him.

My sincere condolences to Linda, Deb and the family.

To be honest: I'm still living in denial concerning our loss of Bill.  It's hard to imagine our band (3DN), our family  ... without Bill. He has been instrumental in so many things over the year. Besides the business aspects of our relationship, Bill was a wonderful friend who DID listen well and gave even better advice. He was the perfect "middle person" for keeping all "cool" when internal disputes arose, which of course they do in any situation. Our family has a hole in it now. My sincere good wishes to Linda and the girls. At his very core ... Bill was a good, good man. Tender, smart, considerate and fun. Yes, fun to know and interact with. He has had a profound impact on my life ... and a long list of others, too. I think maybe Bill will always be with us. He's been too much of a part of all our lives to not travel on with us in our hearts. We love you, Bill. Thanks for your friendship and expertise.

Dear Linda,
Our hearts go out to you and your entire family.
Bill was a very special man. He meant so
much to Danny and I. He was a brilliant man. He helped me to learn to manage our finances and was always encouraging and never critical. He was a dear and loyal friend, caring and supportive. He was such a good listener and full of sage advice. We will miss Bill with his good nature and wisdom everyday. Bill was so proud of you and the family and how close everyone is. He never stopped telling us how lucky he was to have you.
We will miss him dearly.
Love,
Danny and Laurie Hutton

My Thoughts and Prayers are with you Linda and all the family. In the time that I had the privilege to get to know Bill it was always a pleasure from Buffalo Wild Wings to watch basketball to being welcomed to your home for Christmas dinner, to going to Bette, it was always a great time. If you ever need anything I will always be here. You and the family are always in my prayers.
