    Very true, Dave.. 

    I knew Bill on a very personal as well as a professional level. That's how you really get to know a person. We visited N.Y. nightclubs together, shared weekends at places like Fire Island and Woodstock,  knew eachother's lady friends, etc. And, of course worked together on many business projects. This is a huge blow and a loss for all of us.

    Dave, I knew Bill for more than 30 years, bought every book he published, and asked him to  sign it “To My Best Friend Frank.”  I’m devastated, as we were scheduled to meet for a business lunch next month. For those of us who knew him as we did, perhaps we could form a group to keep his memories, research, and works alive.

    As I read this shocking news, I look at my calendar and see a reminder that today I was asked by Bill to follow up on scheduling a Zoom call. In August he told me he had a full plate with one of his projects, but to please contact him in late September. Little did we know...

    As I move into real retirement, I simply wanted to thank him for all of his encouragement, support and the brilliant breadcrumbs he threw in both the realm of Media & Advertising, and in the higher realms of human consciousness and spirituality. I wanted to tell him that he was the mentor I always needed, though I never asked him to fill that role. Our business, and even more so the world has lost an incredible mind, heart and spirit. Rest in Peace Bill.
