Dearest Addy,
I hope you remember me, I used to work at the neighborhood office years ago. You gave me that great book about the families of the 911 victims who were being touched by signs from their loved ones. I also helped with printing as you edited Bill's book numerous times. Oh Addy my heart is so saddened for you. I am sending my deepest heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. I'm going to send you a private note soon, but please know how very sorry I am, Bill was such a nice man. Sending you hugs and praying for peace for you.
Sincerely, Judy Williams

I never met Mr.Willam Bar III.I am the brother of Amy Nageotte & I wanted to express my deepest sympathy to the family.

Addy, Dan and I were so shocked to hear of William's passing. From some of the articles we have read about him, he was an amazing person. You both were so perfect for each other. We only wish we could see you at this time. Just know that we will be with you in spirit on Saturday. We will be back in Ohio in June and maybe we could get together even if it is only for an hour. I am so happy that I can always say "I Love My Windows" from Universal Windows. You have our very deepest sympathies.

We have thought for the past few days how Judy and I remember William, and the friendship that we began to develop with Addy and he. He made an impact on us with his unassuming and selfless vision. William and Addy are givers, not in the “look at what I gave” manner in which some society charities operate, but in their unpretentious and genuinely altruistic approach. William told us that one of the best things that happened with the sale of his company was the opportunity it gave he and Addy to benefit others, much more than they had done in the past, through their charitable foundation.
 
William was an authentic individual, who, with Addy by his side, had the visualization, drive and determination to create an exceptional business, in an amazingly short period of time.
 
We were so grateful to have met and will greatly miss William; and will always remember him as a kind, thoughtful and generous soul.
 
We know that you and your family are devastated by his passing and we feel the utmost sadness for all of you. Please accept our heartfelt sympathies.

Bill Barr was the greatest salesman & home remodeling entrepreneur of all time.

He always challenged his peers to think bigger and set goals, and make them happen. Bill believed in me when I was a 20 year old with little to nothing to show for my work. Working with him gave me so much confidence as a young entrepreneur, and he changed my life forever.

Constant and never-ending improving wasn’t just a corporate slogan, it’s how Bill Barr lived and the standard he set for everyone around him. He went out of his way to help others become better, smarter, and was always there to push you and help you achieve your goals - even when it brought no benefit to himself. He made people better and the world will miss him for it.

Bill Barr is a legend, and lives on through the motivation and mentoring he gave thousands. We are lucky to have shared the earth with such a personally influential and amazing individual.

Dear Addy,
I was so sad to hear from Mary Anne the news of William’s passing. There are no words that can express how sorry we are. Though we haven’t seen you for awhile, we have good memories we will cherish. You and William were a perfect match. A nicer couple couldn’t be found anywhere.

Death is not a stranger to us and we will keep you in our prayers.
Love you and miss you. Please get in touch when you can.
Stan and Eileen Kosloski

Dear Addy,
I don't often go on Facebook but today I did and saw a post from your Mother and could not believe what I read. Addy, both Sid and I are so very sorry and have you in our prayers. I don't need to tell you that William had such a wonderful smile and was always cheerful. The two of you were a great team. Please accept our condolences and when you are up to it, please give us a call.  We will continue to pray for you during these very difficult times. Love you and may God be with you. Sid and Mary Anne Vilyus-Munoz

Dear Addy,
There are no words to express our sympathy. Bill will never be forgotten, he will forever hold a lasting place in my heart and will be greatly missed. Our continued prayers to you and your family.

Always,

Nick & Karen Mihaila

William was a stellar person- loving, kind, generous, caring, honorable... such a bright light in this world. His love for Addy was so palpable. Together they were such a force for good. William & Addy’s foundation is so aptly named for the way they live their lives. He will continue to impact this world and touch many. His memory will shine brightly. God Bless William and Addy❤️

Dear Sweet Addy,

We are heart broken for you. William was the best of the best!  We loved him! He had such a bright personality that lit up the room. He was kind, generous and joyful. He loved you to the moon and back. 

We miss him so much already. We are blessed to have known him and will miss all that we planned to do together.

Addy, may God continue to bless you. We are praying your joy to return someday. William loved you and would not want you to suffer.

I love you, Addy.

Sending my love and condolences to all that had the honor of knowing Bill. I didn't have the opportunity to get to know him on a personal level, but he and Mike have changed my life by allowing me to become a part of the UWD family. He always had a presence in the room and somehow, always knew how to bring out the best in everyone. The last message I received from him, was him thanking me for "kicking butt" for UWD. I will forever be grateful for his compassion and leadership.

Billy, you are missed, you brought out the good in a lot people. I remember your first day in the home improvement industry AND the day you left Columbus to conquer your professional dreams back in Cleveland; hats off for what you accomplished... what an infectious great smile and the personality to match.. not many like him out there. Abby and Family, you are in my prayers.

Riverside Park and the Village of Chagrin Falls will never be the same without William's smile and seeing him in the morning with his beloved Addy and their "girls" Gray and Ivy. Sending our love to you, dear Addy, me 'n Joy. p.s. forever in my mind will be William carrying that big sign I found and wanted to save, last fall, through town to my car......what a guy.......
