Bill was so good to me when I started my extension career in Santa Cruz County as a technician,and then later as I learned about coastal walnut production as a new farm advisor in San Luis Obispo. He will be missed.

I just saw this announcement way late. I've retired July 2015. I am so saddened to learn of Bill's passing. He was the chair of the interview committee when I applied for the Small Farms position in Santa Clara, San Benito, and Sta Cruz. I also closely interacted with him after taking the position. He was very supportive and generous with information and his vast knowledge of crops and local environment. He was the one to encourage me to start work on blueberries and lent me few of his documents and books on the subject. Even after his retirement, he made himself available to answer questions related to fruit production.  
Bill loved and cherished his family and we often talked about lives and families. He loved his work and the great colleagues Advisors and specialists he associated with. He loved the farmers he helped. His departure is a loss to us all. My sincerest condolences to his family, friends, and the ANR family. Aziz
