From Claudia Finkelstein

I knew Bill through a series of short but intense excursions into British Columbia wine country. He was hilarious, kind and so humble that I never knew what a luminary was in our midst on these trips. You can see the warmth and joy in the lovely photos that you have shared.

Please accept my sincere condolences.

Give in Bill's honor
