Sincere condolences from Mike and Liz Dwyer. We knew Bill since the early 1980's when Mike started to build our Quickie Q200 airplane. We met Bill at an EAA Chapter 47 meeting and rented part of his hangar at Albert Whitted Airport. We have many fun memories of flying to have lunch at Lakeland airport and hanging out at George Read's hangar. We flew in his antique Porterfield (see 1 of 3 photos posted). Bill contributed greatly to the flying community, including EAA, The Florida Historical Society, and the Young Eagles. Bill will be remembered fondly.

He was my Uncle Bill. Whenever we would visit Florida when I was a child, he would take us up in airplanes and on amazing boat rides. He found happiness when he married the most wonderful person in the world, my aunt Caralyn. Rest in peace Uncle Bill.

I will so miss Uncle Bill and our interesting talks and laughs shared. I particularly enjoyed touring Whitted Airfield with him as he shared the history and his passion for aviation! He always had a story to tell, and was a kind gentleman.. Godspeed to you, Uncle Bill. In loving memory, Sharon.

Bill was a real friend to aviation in St. Pete and Albert Whitted Airport.

in honor of William.

I knew Bill because my husband worked on his airplane radio. He always inquired how the family was. We shared many conservations with matters concerning flying. We also would visit with him when we met at the airport. My prayers are with his family at this time.
