Bill's songs will live on. One of the great songwriters of our time.

Rivers, Roseville Fair, Quiet Faith of Man, his legacy is with us still.

A great guy. A left-handed guitar picker like McCartney.

He was also an accomplished yodeler. My late wife Mary and I were passengers on a local sailing boat called the Lewis R. French. Bill was aboard and we had great music when we tied up to another boat in Penobscot Bay.

While on the sea, Gordon Bock messaged us from his adjacent boat. Bill was teaching a course in yodeling to all of us. For most of us it was alley cats on the back fence. Gordon radioed, "Bill, what are you doing to those people?"

Bill will be loved and not forgotten. The River still flows to the sea.
