Dear colleagues, I remember with much affection the way Bill smiled and often seemed to have a wink in his eyes. As an Australian with our own rather hard accent, I found Bill's gentle drawl very reassuring- it always seemed to be unhurried - I remember the calm presence both Marianna and Bill always gave me when I was in a meeting with them. In peace and love sent over to Marianna and her family. Isobel Bishop Sent from my iPhone

Remembering many good times with Bill and Marianna on the West Side in the 60s, nearly 50 years ago!
I can hear his leisurely drawl and see his ‘walk' as I write.
Love to you Marianna and your children.

My Dear Marianna,
Those of your colleagues here in Litibu were remembering when you and Bill were among those few “crazies” who dreamed about establishing a Creativity Centre, which we had no real idea what it would be, but risked buying land together and begin the journey. And the journey continues, but how I wish you two could see how the dream looks today! We celebrate the completed life of our beloved Bill. He was tall, but he stood 10 feet higher! What a man, what a Prior and what an authentic spirit! We will miss him, and are the blessed ones to have served this world with him (and you!!) at our side. I send my prayers for comfort to you and the whole family. Blessings to you and may the Peace of God be in your heart.
Grace and Peace, and Love,
Jack
