I found rather late about Bill's passing away. Bill was my employer and mentor. He was an accomplished professional, a talented artist and a lot more. He had high standards, as a result he was demanding of his associates. Amongst the things he taught me was marketing, a key skill in our profession. My sincere thoughts are with his wife Harriet and his family. May God rest his soul. Michael A. Vidalis, Ph.D. - Registered Architect & Interior Designer. Adjunct Professor.

Dear Harriet, I will always be grateful for the kindness and generosity Bill showed to me when I was learning to write about architecture, and I will always appreciate the gracious hospitality you offered when I visited your home and studio. My deepest sympathy. Wilma Salisbury

Harriet, So very sorry to hear of the loss of your Dear Bill.  I saw it in the obits as I was searching for my class mate who died also.  So sorry I was not able to make the funeral  My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Hope we can get together some time in the future,  I did send a check for the Arts Prize memorium. to the Guggengeim resident as I did not have your address  Fondly,  Ruth Bertrand

We know Bill will be missed by his Cleveland family as well as his California family.  We are sure he will be remembered for his work & arts impact for his city.  Harriet are thoughts are with you.

Harriet,

Bill owed much of his professional success to you.  May you be comforted by pleasant memories of all the times - business and personal - with him.

Bill was a very kind, soft-spoken man who was very generous with his time and himself.  My heart goes out to Harriet.

Sorry to hear this.  The Goulds were a very supportive family to Heights' wrestling, the school, and the community.

Condolences to all who knew William Gould, architect, artist and friend to many. I had the pleasure and privilege of meeting Bill with George Qua as they planned their Shaker Heights High School reunion at the Shaker Historical Museum. I also had the pleasure of working with him to display his art in the Lissauer Gallery at the Shaker Historical Museum. I always meant to visit his and Harriet's ArtSpace. Now it is too late to see him there, and I regret that i failed to go. Carpe diem. At least I have one of his en plein air paintings, which I shall treasure always, and I will continue to delight in knowing that he designed the RTA station at Shaker Square. Godspeed Mr Gould.

Bill was a wonderful husband, father, community member, friend, artist and architect.  He will be sorely missed.  Our hearts go out to Harriet and then entire Gould family.  May you be comforted by wonderful memories always.  

May God's loving kindness and comfort help you and your family through this very sad time Psalms 29:11

I want to express my deepest sympathy to you and yours family and friends ,sorry about the loss of your dear loved one .may God be with you all
