I last met with him at the Gordon conference for cell migration last year. He told me a lot of Dicty stories and interesting ideas about how they differentiate. We had a really good time. So hard to believe he is gone.

Bill started his scientific journey with Dicty in the 1960’s and remained active in the field until his death.  He was looking forward to joining all of us in Tucson at the end of the month. Bill was a passionate and erudite scientist, his enthusiasm and love of knowledge were infectious and his devotion to rigorous biological research and education was unwavering.  To us, Bill was a teacher, a mentor, a friend and a father figure.  We will miss him dearly.
