I received some rather sad news this
morning, Anna Klock called from England to let me know that Bill passed away
while in St. Ives, a place he loved and a second home dating back to his time
working at the Leach Pottery. There is little I can say about Bill that will
convey his presence; father, husband, grandfather, friend, teacher and mentor to those
that passed through his classroom and studio. Bill was a "constant
measure" for me in regards to my pottery work and my outlook on life, to
say he will be greatly missed is an understatement, he was a kind and caring
soul who was always so full of life and optimism. Godspeed you on your next
journey Bill.
