For old times and old memories.
I only recently returned to Arkansas as a retiree and heard of Bubba's passing. He was an incredible person and I shared a lot of fun times over a short period of time with Bill and Charisse at the Arkansas Times. He was too young, too good and too talented to be lost so soon. I join a legion of admirers in saying he will be missed and always thought of with love and respect.
Charisse,By accident, I just found out about your loss. Remember, he was a friend of mine and the news truly hit me hard. I wish I could have done more for you, particularly after your wonderful words of condolence after my mother's death. Getting that card from you was the greatest light I had in that awful gloom. Just know that I am thinking of you tonight and always, and remembering a man I really did like a great deal. I know that you were very special to him, and I will always respect him for that.
We are so sorry to hear about Bill. A very cool guy.Orion and Nancy Miller, Memphis.
Char, Haley and Brandon - My heart is broken for you all. Wilder informed me today. My God, I have so many fond memories of that man. I am so sorry. Char, please get back in touch when you are ready. Love to you all.
You'll always be in our heart Bill. We all love and miss you terribly. You were like the brother I never had.
Sending our thoughts, love and prayers for you all, Charisse.
I didn't know him but loved his commentaries on the last page of MBJ. great man with great talent.
Words cannot express my sorrow at hearing that Bill has passed away. Many condolences to Charisse; to Bill and Charisse's wonderful children; to Mrs. Elizabeth Wellborn; and to Betty and Barbara.
May this good man rest in peace!My prayers and condolences are with his family.Wild Bill, as know in mafia wars will surely be missed.
