Bill was a hidden treasure for Haskell Indian Nations University. He recorded so many important events during his time there, and he gave his students the tools to go back and make a difference in recording their tribe´s history. I truly enjoyed him as a colleague and friend. RIP, Bill.

We are so honored to have met Bill in September of 2014 at the annual reunion of the Mighty Eighth Air Force Historical Society, and to work with him and his dear partner, Martha, since then.

Bill taught himself to become a wonderful videographer and documentarian. I loved his humor and the sound of his string bass. We will all miss him.
