    I've only known Bill for a few years. I was his aide. I know Bill had his struggles but he was a very kind man and would do whatever he could do to help anyone. Bill would speak of his children all the time. He was very proud of them all and loved them very much. I truly will miss our chats. My you rest in peace now. My deepest condolences to all his family.

    Bill and I were colleagues, friends and partners in crime. He was a brilliant man. There were so many cases we worked on together and I learned so much from him. We laughed until our sides hurt. I remember we were all dressed in our blue suit best for a deposition and Bill walked in wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, carrying a burger King bag. The stuffed shirts on the other side of the case were horrified. Bill sat eating French fries as he dismantled their case. He had a way like no one else to show who was in charge. I remember him bringing the twins to my house trick or treating. He loved his kids. RIP and Godspeed my friend. Thanks for the memories.

    I first met Bill when he was a guest on my radio talk show on " Ask The Attorney" day. We did many shows like that and I can honestly say that I looked forward to the shows with Bill more than the others. We had many laughs together. He represented me in several successful legal cases. He drove us around in his Rolls when Connie and I were married. He and I rode ATVs together and would target shoot. He will be missed.

    My first boss out of college. He was so kind to me. My husband kept in touch with him throughout the years (mostly for free legal advise). He always answered his calls. So sorry for your loss. Kim and Tim Stipec

    I got to know Bill on my mail route, he had a great sense of humor and was a genuine nice guy. He loved his kids and talked about them alot. He also loved his dogs. I would ask him how he was doing and his reply was always the same, " not bad for a one legged fat guy"... Rest in peace my friend I will really miss you and our talks.Your mail carrier, Katie

    I was deeply saddened by the passing of Bill. First of all my condolences to the family. Bill and I have been friends for over 50 years. He was like the brother I never had. We had many adventures in our younger years, which age and maturity have relegated to fond memories. I know we shall meet again to raise our glasses in celebration in the afterlife. Bill Cox
