That's a hell of a bio on Historylink by Dolores Tarzan Ament. I loved learning one of his first jobs was a WPA thing as assistant to my darling Betty MacDonald.
He used to come into the LFP Third Place when I worked there a few years back. One time he told me a story about punching some drunk jerk in the face because the jerk insisted that Eleanor Roosevelt was unattractive.
Bill was a frisky, charming gentleman for all ages. We were friends with is last loving wife, Dena, who gave us one of Bill's precious sketchings when one of our sons was born. Still have it - Baby in Carriage classic with lots of memories to go with it. Class act and supremely talented, smart, complicated man. May his legacy live on...
He will be missed.
