I was deeply saddened by the news of Bill's passing. My heart felt condolences to Stevie, his sons and the family. Bill was a wonderful person, true gentleman, and great coworker. I am so glad to have worked with him on a recent disaster with FEMA Region 7 during the Spring 2013. My prayers are with the family. God Bless.

I worked with Bill at FEMA on a number of disasters, most recently in Iowa in 2013, when -- as our Task Force leader in the northwest part of the state -- he graciously received me in my duties as Deputy Federal Coordinating Officer out on a field visit. And, as anyone who knows him could attest, Bill always did things first class. All the pertitent local, FEMA and other fed partners met us at a cafe for an extended working lunch for a guy new to the experience of being Deputy FCO. Bill's well-known warm and easy-going manner made working with him in any situation an absolute joy. You can't say that about everyone, but Bill had it in spades. I no doubt am expressing the same sentiments as many at FEMA who worked with him. He will be missed.

Gonna miss you, Bill. I value the short time that I've known you as if it were a lifetime. I always tell people that you are the best democrat I know. Well, you're my democrat, by golly. I'll see you when I get to the other side, my friend.

I met Mr. Kirk, when my brother-in-law (Rich Keeling) worked for him on his farm in Clayton. I always thought Bill was such a nice man. I have fond memories of tagging along with my brother-in-law on Bill's beautiful farm... driving his ZTR mower, moving irrigation pipe and driving his little blue Courier pickup. Reading his obituary truly shows the wonderful legacy that he left behind. May God bless his family.

We have been fortunate to have Stevie and Bill as neighbors in Topeka. They were always so willing to help or share. I refer to that as the farm mentally...helping neighbors. Bill's small garden always produced enough to share. Stevie, please let us return your kindness and help whenever we can. Bill, we miss you. Diana and Jim

Like many who worked with Bill on many FEMA disaster deployments, I came to see him as a quite individual, a true professional, and the ultimate gentleman of the old school. He loved his wife, his children, and his state and of course was honored to serve the nation it its time of need. Rest in Peace, Bill, you will be truly missed by those who knew you and those you didn't but whose lives you touched by your selfless work.

Stevie, we pray for comfort and quietness for you. Bill will always hold a special place in our hearts. He was not only Gary's state director, but he was a family friend. Our daughter, Heather, holds a special place in her heart for Bill--his presence at her special events always meant so much. May our Lord's arms surround you.

What a great time I had Bill and Rich Grose while I also worked in Topeka. A very memorable moment was a February Saturday night while riding around with Bill in Topeka when we decided to drive to Norton for a "cup of coffee". We started out with the top down on his convertable but not for long. We put it back down just outside of Norton and then stopped at the Lucky Strike Grill. RIP Bill.

Lanny and I shared many happy times with Bill and Stevie when we were first married and when our children were small. Bill gave us our first Siamese cat from a litter of kittens that they raised to sell. Even though we have lived miles apart for many years, we keep in touch for many important occasions. Bill surly will be missed by us and we will keep him close in our memories.
