hi! i have had read one of his books, and i greatly am inspired by his talent for writing such good books. I have just start reading one of his books entitled- “WE TWO”, and it is very beautiful.. i admire him. =)
Bill was a close family friend, and was present at many of my fondest childhood memories. He was an amazingly intelligent and sweet man. His former wife, Joanna Woolfolk, and my grandmother remain friends to this day. He is greatly missed and I only wish I could have known him better.
