Some people shine so brightly that from the moment you meet you are changed. William was someone who had that impact on me. His wonder and delight at discovering something or sharing some aspect of the natural world was an invitation to join him in celebrating the grace and beauty that surrounds us, to step outside of the busyness of daily life and remember that life, in all its forms, is truly amazing. His art captures that joy, humour and wonder and I am forever grateful to him for sharing his world with me. Thank you for having the courage to be that bright shining light. Rest in Peace.
