Heidi, Kelsey and Michael,
  Even though we havent seen much of each other,  I thought of Billy as a connection to our Phoenix family.  
Believe or not, when your Dad was younger, he was the cool cousin!
I remember having a ride on his motorcycle, big deal in those days!  Sandy and I would follow him around, and Im sure it drove him nuts.
I will always remember him driving his bike, me on the back, with the wind in my hair...freedom for the first time. 
May you find solace in the people he touched and the love he gave you.
Dawn

Heide, Kelsey, Michael, my heart aches for you.  Bill was one of the most decent people I've known. He was always so optimistic and found some good in all situations.  I'll always remember him as a kind, caring soul with a mischievous gleam in his eyes.  My years of working with him at Wedbush Securities was a treat, he lightened the air in the office with his presence.   I know he will be missed by many.  I'm sending my love and prayers as you navigate through this transition.  Virginia Lasley (Gin)

Bill was my big brother. A brother like no other. He took his little annoying little sister on so many adventures! He shaped who I became, and I will never forget you Bill. God Bless Heide, your amazing wife and your wonderful children. They are alive with you.  Peace, Bro!

Heide, Kelsey, Michael and family, I have known Bill for over 25 years as a client and as a friend I will deeply miss his kindness, sense of humor and his compassion. Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same.  I want to wish you as much peace as possible during this difficult time. 

Bill was a wonderful person, and his presence will live on in all of those whom he touched.  He was warm, caring, funny, and generous.  I love him, and I miss him!

It's hard to believe that I've known Bill over 25 years.  In spite of the fact we haven't worked together in years, we'd still occasionally keep in touch.  Please know that he will definitely be missed.  I can't imagine the heartbreak you are going through and have prayed requesting comfort for you all.

I am very sorry for your families loss. Bill was such a kind and warm person. I was fortunate to have worked with this great man. He will be missed.

I am very sorry to learn of your loss.  My sincerest condolences.  I did not know him well but I knew him enough to to he was a wonderful person.
