Bill became a fixture in my life when we were 8 yrs old and riding horses at the Happy Hour Stables in Temple City, CA. I read this lovely tribute to him and couldn't agree more with the kind words shared about him. Over the years I had been around to share many of his adventures. I can't imagine never being able to see him again. I will miss him forever.

He was the ...He was the oldest of 25 plus cousins. He was the one with an easy rapport with our aunts and uncles and a connection to all of us younger cousins. His wealth of knowledge on everything outdoors was something I couldn't ever get enough of. He told great stories, always! I realize now that while it had a lot of truth in it, there may have been just a little added flare to it. His mom would share with me some great stories of his early escapades. He was her world. I always thought of him as bigger than many of my TV heroes, mostly because he actually lived it versus acting it out. I enjoyed the times visiting with him at his mom's house in Glendora in the 70's. I very vividly remember him once saying "Where else can you surf in the morning, ride a horse in the afternoon, and then snow-ski in the evening?" Only in California, of course. It's what keep me loving this great state. Anna was one of his dogs at that time. He was an incredible dog trainer. I had never seen anyone work a dog quite like him. He commands so soft, yet she responded immediately. And she absolutely loved him. His love of life and his never quit attitude has instilled in me a focus on all the positives of this journey we call life. Thank-you 'Skip' for your gift of you. Rest in Peace 'Cuz, until we meet again.
