Howard Tubach wrote a sympathy message

“I remember Bill from summer assembly in Forest Park in Topeka. We became good friends as classmates at Westmar College in LeMars, IA. I have always been impressed by Bill's talent at the piano. Most of all Bill was a dear friend. He had a great sense of humor and a warm personality. Even though I have seen little of him in recent years, he will remain in my memory forever. Lee Tubach”
