Bill and I both worked together in the Arts and Humanities Department at MCC and on the AH Fest committee. He was an excellent teacher, after 10+ years of teaching humanities, he was still excited about new ways to engage students in the arts. He was also a very lovely man and a good friend and we will miss him dearly.
Bill was everything one could ask for in a friend. He will be missed by many. An asset to the community for sure. RIP my friend.
I was lucky enough to meet Bill in 1968 at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp when he was on the faculty there. Later, after college, Ruth and I saw him often around town. He always remembered us and greeted us warmly. He was a tremendous asset to the West Michigan arts community and a delightful person.
Good bye, old friend! From the Scottvulle orchestra in the 50's,to all the years in Chicago and then Muskegon, we were friends for about a hundred years. GReat memories of .being Bill's sous chef for a huge party in Evanston, watching the 4th of July parade after luscious bloody Mary's at Gail Dancz' and, best of all, having lunch with Julia Childs in Chicago (She signed his recipe book, even though it was caked with old food.). Bill was a genus, but a modest one. He was the only man I know who owned a tuxedo. I hope there's a big garden where he is now.
Bill played organ and directed the choir at Immanuel Lutheran Church; that's where our friendship began. We shared a love of music, and I so enjoyed his active mind and humor. The obituary left out the fact that he played in the Scottville Clown Band! Somehow I could always just picture him doing that. It also omitted his love and talent for gardening. When he moved to his darling house on Forest, I didn't have any problem knowing which house it was: it was the one with the beautiful garden. I will miss my friend.
I enjoyed singing with Bill. He was always friendly, positive and fun to be around. I will miss him.
Bill used to take piano from Charles Rousseau back in the 50's. Bill was a very talented musician. May he rest in peace. Rogene (altrock) Lathouwers.
Bill was such a warm, friendly, and caring guy. I had the pleasure of working with him in some Muskegon Civic Theatre productions and some choral performances where he accompanied. Always smiling, his bright spirit will be missed.

I met Bill many years ago when I was cast as the Barber in Civic Opera's production of "Man of La Mancha." Bill was the musical director. We have been friends ever since then and appeared on stage together many years later in MCC's production of "The Importance of Being Earnest." His talents will be missed by all of those who knew him. My condolences to his family.
