I attended high school with William and knew him as a thoughtful and considerate person even during our teen years. He could always be counted on and we counted on him for leadership and guidance. Our condolences and gratitude for a well lived life!
Loretta and family, prayers of peace and consolation for you. Bill touched so many souls.
I remember the first time I sat with Bill while we were waiting for the airport shuttle after Church Council. When I discovered he was from Tulsa, I was overjoyed that he might be coming to visit from time to time. Bill was like no one else, kind, a good listener, a great problem solver, a true Christian. The world will be just a little less well off without his wisdom. So sorry Loretta that you have to go on without him, but his memory will give you strength. There are no words to describe how incredibly sad I was to hear of his death. He has planted Christian seeds of justice in all of us.

William (Cheese) Horne and I met at Carver Junior High, 7th grade, Tulsa, Oklahoma. We were both horn players in the band. He played trumpet and I played cornet. Williams was always a kind, considerate young man. Great analytical mind. If you needed someone to come to a thoughtful decision, it was him. We attended Booker T. Washington high school and remained friends. I'm sure I'll see him on the other side. HORNETS FOR LIFE - Dannie Harris Stevenson
A fine man with outstanding values and great leadership skills. I felt fortune to have called him "boss". The City of Clearwater is better place today because of his visions and dedication. RIP.
Loretta and Family,
Death leaves a hurt no one can heal, love leaves memories no one can steal...thoughts, prayers and love are with you as we remember Bill. Dennis Latson and Miguel Acta
