MessageMany times when I'd complain about something or other, Dad would remind me that life isn't fair by saying, "Son, life is a shit sandwich. Every now and then you gotta take a bite." My boys are too young for that bit of wisdom but I'm looking forward to passing that on someday.

MessageJust wanted to add my condolences to the family and friends of WildBill. He lived a very good and productive LIFE and meant
so very much to many, many people, myself included. It was a great honor to finally meet him and Sheri in Reno at the Alpha
Company/Americal Division reunion in 2002.
Friday afternoon “martooni” time will never be the same!

MessageI remember (Billy Joe) as he was called growing up and attented Central High School together. My Dad and Billy Joes, Dad
worked together at the Light Co. After he joined the army we lost touch with each other until I received a email from Billy Joe
telling me he lived in Hawaii,and wanted to know when the next Central High School Alumni was going to be helded. We were
friends in school and wished we could have visited one another. He told me of his wife and family and was so proud of each
one. You will be missed (Billy Joe). You will be joining your warrier friends in heaven. May your family know you were always
a true friend and classmate. Your classmate from Central High School. Sharon (Loveall) Taylor

MessageWild Bill! I gave him that handle in Vietnam after one particular action which I won’t go into.
Bill was my Recon platoon leader in Hawaii and then in Vietnam. Myslef and Sgt Booth rebuilt the carberater on that old
Cadallic he drove in Hawaii. We had pieces left over but the ar ran better than in ever did.
Bill was my mentor, my plt ldr, my buddy, my friend. I could fill this page with his antics, his leadership, his comerotery.
I have missed you Wild Bill, but someday soon we will be doing some fishing in the lakes and rivers of Heaven.
Don’t bother God too much, He’s a busy man right now. Find a “Kahuka pass” and hike it in record time like we did on Ohau.
See ya soon my friend,
Ken

MessageI think a small proper portion of Bill died long-long ago in S.E. Asia. The rest of Bill caught up this past Fourth of July, 2006.
He was human as we are leaving these memories. I appreciate having known him twice. First in 1968 and again after connecting with Bill via the Internet around 1996. It was a good run.

Via the Internet he and I shared this. It meant something to me as I believe it did to Bill:
Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into a nearby place, I am I, and you are you… Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the usual way which you always used to. Put no difference
into your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrows.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect, without the ghost of a shadow on it.

Life means all it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was, there is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind, just because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for the interval, somewhere near, just around the corner …… All is well.

To his family, I wish them peace and adjustment as Bill would have expected.

Two-One—- Out

MessageMy most dearest & treasured ohana!
I remember when I first met Bill - he surprised us all by attacking the hawaiian food & actually enjoyed it. From that moment
on…he was IN! How fortunate & blessed we’ve been to have him in our lives. I’m thankful for the times we had together here
on Oahu when we first moved here, because we had the opportunity to get to know Bill & the kids better. We will miss him
tremendously…however he does live on in our hearts & our memories….AND his love, strength, character & integrity lives on &
on through the lives of his children. We love you all…
