Dear Bill,
it was my mother who kept in touch with you and your family, and for that I am very grateful to her.
The first time we met was in 1972, when you, Dorothy and Karen visited us in Sweden. Since then I have, sometimes with Marita, visited you in Jamestown on 5 occasions and most recently last year. We also have had 100s of phone calls where I got to know you as a man with great views and values.
You were interested in everything and always curious to learn new things even in older age.
You were charmingly proficient in languages and your interest in Sweden and our language made that we were able to converse in both Swedish and English.
Admirable was how agile and sporty you were even in old age. We shared interest in golf and could at a plurality of times currently playing with each other.
Bill, we got to know you as a very popular and respected man, who was very fortunate to be able to live a long, full life with a wonderful family.
Dear Bill, rest in peace!
