Well it’s done. Had some amazing musicians show up for his final goodbye. I think it was just the way he would have wanted it. He had some close, loving friends. 

Sandra Lawson Napier you did great with everything. Wayne, your song was perfect. Don and Becky Hofmann, the Lawson family will always be in your debt—Bill loved and respected you both. Thanks to Joel Hofmann for the great friendship you showed Bill and for the use of Riley’s Tavern for his memorial, one of Bill’s favorites. Thanks to all the former band members of the dozens of bands Bill played in, all the way back to 8th grade (54 years of making music). 

To everyone else, thanks for your support. You are a part of my brother—I look forward to sharing more memories in the future.
