Thoughts from his friends at Polycystic Kidney Disease Chat & Community:

Bill was a wonderful inspiration to each of us with PKD and we looked forward to chatting with him each time. (LeShru)

 

The World became a little smaller today. (Howie)

Bill was a saint, he cared deeply and genuinely for each and every person he met.  I will sorely miss my friend. (Trelled)

Bill you will be missed by the whole community.  You have personally helped so many members and you will be missed by us all.  Until we meet again. (LoriS)

Hey there handsome.....That is my greeting to Bill when he came to chat. I am so glad I told you while you were still among us how much you meant to me. Not just because you are a site manager here, but b'cause your such a terrific friend. Not only to me but to countless others around this big world of ours.You will forever have a special place in my heart and in my life Bill. I am going to miss our conversations and I am going to miss you a great deal. Love always ( B*)
