"I'm so very sorry to read of Bill's passing. He was a friend of my brother who also attended OAC. I enjoyed dancing with Bill at many OAC proms and always enjoyed talking with him. He was a very polite, kind and interesting man. I remember watching him compete in Special Olympics,he was competitive yet supportive of other athletes. Deepest sympathy to all of Bill's family. Our thoughts & prayers are with you. We were blessed to know such a fine man."

"I was sorry to hear of Bills passing. I met him in the 1970s at a recreational program and remember his sweet smile and infectious laugh. He had a little crush on my cousin back in those days. And forty years later would still ask me how she was doing! He was truly special. My sympathies to his family as I am sure they will miss him dearly!"

"Dear family of Bill,
I didn't know Bill well, but I have known his smiling face at Hope Basketball games for over 30 years. He has been around Hope since I was a student here in the late 80's, always with a warm greeting and a smile. His positive attitude was a blessing to many. Rest in Peace, Bill!"

"My deepest condolences to the Webb family. I was lucky to have Billy as a friend, and have known him from our early days when my family lived on 12th Street and the Webb's lived on 13th. I will always remember when Billy would win one of his many medals. He couldn't wait to show Larry and I, and tell us all about his accomplishments! In recent years, Billy would stop by our business to laugh about the old days and share a pop. I would drop him off at Kollen Park just in time for Friday night Summer concerts. I will miss his smile, laughter and outlook on life. Rest in peace Billy - God got a good man!"
