Such a truly brilliant, inspiring and memorable being!
Our family is heartbroken and sending deepest condolences to you all. We will forever be grateful for the spark of connection made with William at his studio in recent years. Our home is filled with treasured Bilz creations which continue to inspire, add wonder and a bit of magic in our daily lives. We carry the most fond memories of him, continue to admire his passion for all things aquatic and appreciate the vivid story telling of each specimen and project he has worked on.
Bill overflowed with creativity, knowledge & kindness – and we will carry that with us always. Such a loss, and such a truly beautiful and unique legacy left for us to hold on to.
