Thanks you for sharing your memories! Bill was very kind to my daughter Jessica when he drove the van for the Waldorf School. Jessica said they were “buddies.” She would sit up front with him and they would have daily talks together. He is a special person and will be greatly missed!

Susan and family;
On behalf of myself and my family, accept our sincerest condolences on the passing of a wonderful husband, father and friend. As someone I knew since I can remember, Bill always had an interesting sense of humor and brought life to a conversation. While our paths didn’t cross but once or twice per year, I always enjoyed chatting with him. He was a unique individual in so many ways.
Godspeed…

Kirsten,
Our sincerest condolences to you and your family. I didn’t know your father well other than to say hello during our comings and goings at the Waldorf School. He was always so pleasant and cheerful and truly seemed so happy to be involved at his grandchildren’s school. I’m sure he will be so missed, but that your memories will help you through this difficult time.
Blessings on your family,
Becky, Chris and Dory Bittle
