I have known Bill for 20 years through work, he's been such a  big part of our office and company.  Every time I spoke with Bill he would make me grin from ear to ear, he had a way of being funny and warm at the same time.  I will miss bantering with him.  So many of us here at the office are torn up about Bill's passing.  I am so sorry these notes are coming so long after his passing as we didn't hear until just last week.  I wish the family all the best during this hard time.

I am deeply saddened by the news about Bill.  May the Bui family find comfort in this sad time.  Bill was a great guy. Always a smile on his face everytime I saw him. He could always cheer you up with a smile and a joke.  Bill will be missed. 

Bill was a man to be respected.  Hard-working, a great father, character, affable.  He carried himself well.  Humble, thoughtful, and considerate of others.  He came to help the world.  A real man and one too rare.   I will never forget his smile, ethics, and his focus on what really matters in life.

My deepest sympathy to all the Bui family. I am so sad to hear Bill has passed on. We’ve been friends for decades. We had many talks about family, real estate and travel. He was so proud of each of his children. He spoke about how wonderful his wife is and we talked about our parents as we became their caretakers. I will miss greeting each other with a hug when we’d see each other at the office, seeing photos and hearing about his trips to Vietnam. Bill was always a very kind and generous man. He was quick to help a friend in need or go the extra mile to help his clients. I’m sorry we just heard about Bill’s passing today. I know many of his co-workers would have paid respects at his memorial had we known earlier. My prayers of comfort and strength to the family. 

I am so saddened by this news. Bill was a huge source of positivity at the office, always with a smile and a great sense of humor. He loved his family very much and often expressed that by sharing photos and stories of them, nothing seemed to make him happier. My most sincere condolences. 

My sincere and deepest condolences to the entire Bui family. I was fortunate to have known Bill for upwards of 20 years in the Real Estate business. Never saw him in a bad mood, and he always joked around with me when we encountered each other around our office;... and fortunate for me we had a few in depth conversations. He always exuded a positive demeanor.  He was deeply in love with his family especially his mother, wife and children. I am so happy and blessed that I had the opportunity to know him. I shed a few tears today when I heard the news of his passing. He will be missed...never forgotten by a huge number of people.  God bless his family in this time of sorrow.

Thank you for bringing  fun and smiles to our office.   I enjoyed talking to you about Vietnam this past year, and you gave me so many ideas.   You will be missed by everyone who knew you.   You were always so proud of your kids and always updated me on what they were doing.    Bill I am so glad I got to know you.  

Hugs to everyone.

I was really shaken today to learn of Bill's passing.  I'll miss running into him at the office and chatting in the computer room.  He was a very kind person full of wisdom who spoke so lovingly about his family and mother in Vietnam.  I appreciated that he always asked me how my daughter was.  He was a bright light and I will miss him. My deepest condolences to his wife and children. 

To hear about Bill fills me with sadness but to remember him I can’t help but smile and remember one of the most gracious humans I have ever met. He was already working at our office when I started 27 years ago. I remember when his kids were small and he would bring them in the office! We always talked about kids and family and I always told him he needed to retire because he owned his own island. He would always joke back about having to work to send his kids to college. He was a very special gentleman and I will always think of him when I go into the office! I hope he is smiling from his island!!

Bill was a mentor to me as I learned the Real Estate profession.  He was always willing to sit with me and impart wisdom about his experiences in life.  He loved going home to see his family and always had beautiful photos and memories to share upon his return.
He was very proud of his children.  They were growing up, going to college and becoming young professional adults .  You could tell he loved his wife and children dearly and spoke often of them affectionately.
I'm sad today, but able to reflect on Bill's warm smile, charming attitude and sense of humor.  He will be missed by all who were blessed to know him.

My greatest condolences go out to all of your family.  I just learned about Bill and am shocked and so sad.  He was always kind to me and I looked forward to seeing him in the office.  He was very proud of his kids and a proud American.   
My thoughts and prayers will be with you all.
