To our friend, we will miss you. 
Thank you for all the great times and countless laughs together. So many of us agree that you were one of the funniest people we had ever known. 
So bright, so engaging, with thoughtful humility. We so wish we had more time with you. You will be missed good friend.

Very sad to hear this news.  Though many years separated us, Bill was always one of my best friends. I remember fondly his sense of humor, intellect, love for local sports, wide ranging musical taste, and his many athletic talents.  I recall us spending hours/days hanging out with our close friends, working, or running around the greater north Seattle area.  We enjoyed finding good food, a sunny park to play basketball or whatever the consensus wanted. Running into small amounts of trouble 😋 and making great memories. 
I strongly regret not being able to stay connected  with Bill over the last 40 yrs.  He will continue to stay in my memories forever.
