Cheryl and Krystal, I’m so sorry for your loss. Billy was a great man and is greatly missed.
From: Dave Brown
To a truly unique person, you will be missed Bill. I enjoyed our daily coffees and your intensity. Some great fishing trips together on the island for steelhead and salmon. There were many laughs. Your energy was unsurpassed.
On the drive back, after a steelheading trip, we rolled the truck on the Hope Princeton after hitting black ice. You were hanging upside down by your seatbelt. There was a semi on his horn hard and we could see his headlights and jack knifed truck sliding our way down the hill. We scrambled to get out. I hit your seat belt release and you landed on top of me and used me as your step ladder to climb out the window. Watching that semi slide past our vehicle missing it by a few feet was quite the experience. as we sat on the snow bank we had climbed up in a panic.
In typical Bozzie fashion you watched that semi slide by and said, in a dead calm voice “that was interesting” .
You will be missed by many as you were truly unique Bill.
God bless you and your family.
