Condolences


Dear Marcia, Over the years I've tried to find you and Bill, to no avail. Minutes ago, I found his obituary. I am so sorry. I will write to you soon and send my note to the mortuary for you. Weren't we crazy, that PLU 1970-71 year? I was so brand new and Bill was too, and we rompeed together! I've missed you from the moment you left Tacoma. Sadly but gratefully, now I've found you. I'll get a letter to you soon. Love, Dave

I did not know Bill well, but I’ve known him for years. We passed each other almost daily in the forest preserve, when I would be walking and he would usually be on his bike. We went from passing greetings to short conversations and a few longer ones. Reading his beautiful obituary, I realize I barely scratched the surface of an exceptional man. I’ve been out of town since October, so I only heard today of his untimely passing. I had noticed his absence on the trail and asked a mutual acquaintance. I’m so sorry for his family’s loss, and for all who knew him.

I’m so sorry for your loss auntie . I feel very bad for the way things ended the last time my uncle and I spoke when grandma was passing. As a kid growing up you guys were always very gracious and we loved coming to your house to visit. I will always remember the great times we had together and uncle Bill will always be in our hearts. Love you, Debbie

Sending our love to Marcia and family. Bill’s love for his family and for books was inspiring. Bill was curious and passionate about so many things and I learned much from his perspective and his expertise. Bill was a good friend and we are very saddened by his passing, and will miss Bill dearly. Marcia and family please take good care. Love, Jim & Heidi

I retired from Follett after 40 years in 1997. Bill was my friend many of those years. He was one of the unsung hero’s that made Follet a wonderful place to work. He grew to be in the perfect position for Follett and for him. It’s a lucky person who loves what he does and we were blessed to have him. I know what you and your family are going through because God called my wife, Dona home after 65 years of marriage last February 22 . Her passing was totally unexpected, and when we were told after a week in the hospital that she wasn’t going to make it, she only lasted nine days. Fortunately like me you are blessed with caring, loving children and you all have memories that no one can take away.’you are in my prayers . Dick Litzsingeo

My thoughts and prayers are with Bill and all of you. Both my wife Dawn and I worked with Bill for many years. Bill is quite a character and all in a very good way. He is fun to be around and was a good friend to us. He worked very hard and really cared about his life’s work. May God Bless.

I'm so very sorry for your loss! I fondly remember Bill from my many years at Follett's late 80's to early 2000's. He was a great man, passionate about his work, his family and he was so kind to me. The cycle of life is often so hard to understand it can be very hard to accept, but one thing I know for sure is that Bill's life and self here on earth was purposeful, kind, interesting sense of humor (lol) and supportive to all. May your hearts be comforted and your faith be strong. He will find ways to continue to touch you and share his extended heavenly love. I hope they bring you peace can comfort. With tremendous sorrow, John
