We will miss his humor, poetry and wonderful friendship. He was a wonderful person.
He was a very sweet man. Prayers for his family❤
I was searching for Bill. I’d not talked to him in years. I was his second wife and we had a very amicable divorce and stayed friends. I was happy for him when he told me about Elizabeth. I remarried before him. He drove over 200 miles to get a load of furniture because we were blending 2 homes and had duplicates of almost all furniture. I’d come to Little Rock for poetry slams and my new husband and I would go support him. They both liked each other and I was happy to keep him as my friend. However, he too remarried and life went on. We lost touch, but would reconnect every few years. He’d tell me how much he loved his wife and worried about her Lupus. At the time, I’d been a undiagnosed with several autoimmune diseases that afflicted me for more than 30 years and many bouts while married to Bill. He was a wonderful human. I’m saddened to know he’s gone, but Bill’s faith was strong and I know he’s walking streets of gold with a new body, awaiting his Elizabeth!
