Tony Marino wrote a sympathy message

“I am sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. I am very lucky to have worked for and with Bill and have had him as my friend. Bill was the nicest and most honest person that I have ever met. He had a great sense of humor and really made me feel at home when I took a job working for him when my family and I relocated to Santa Barbara. We are praying for Bill, Cookie, Jack, and Bill’s family. Rest in peace my friend.”
