  1. I was a high-school friend of Bill and remember him fondly as a brilliant fellow with multiple interests..I loved riding around in the Jaguar he restored!
    He spiked in me an interest in British cars.
    He also beat me in a couple of academic honors…darn him.
    My sympathies to his family. He was one of a kind.

  2. To Terri, Doug, Steve and families, We send our sincere condolences to you on the loss of Bill. He truly was “one of a kind”. Although Bill had many challenges in recent years, he surely made the most of the years he had. We will continue to remember him as he once was whether in uniform, on the lake, in court or strolling in the village. RIP, Bill Narby

  3. Rest In Peace Bill will always remember the great times at troop school in the 60s. My heart felt condolences to your family
