From Mary S. Stowell

I only met Bill a few times in the 1980’s when I was volunteering at Fred Hutch, but he remained indelible in my mind. I so appreciated his directness and clarity. I will never again take Martin Luther King Jr. day for granted.

May he rest peacefully after his work in the world.

Give in Bill's honor
