He was surrounded by family and took off to the cosmos during the Perseid meteor shower. He was a dedicated doctor, beloved husband, cherished father, and passionate traveler. Bill's compassionate care touched countless lives. His devotion to his family and community was unwavering, and his adventurous spirit led him to explore the world's wonders. He was able to visit 5 continents and make a second home in Switzerland with the Märki family. As a lover of animals, he cared for many family pets but Molly, the “adventure dog”, had a special connection to him. He wrote that he looks forward to the journey across the rainbow bridge to meet up with his furry friends and his family that crossed before him. He leaves behind a legacy of healing, love, and unforgettable worldly experiences. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
