I worked with Bill for several years at Illinois Farm Bureau before he retired and was privileged to have received a copy of his Genesis Flood study from him. I want you to know that his legacy lives on as I have taught this study to my adult ABF, our church's high school class and had just pulled it out to use this September in our AWANA TNT Boy's group. I always give credit where credit is due and shared how Bill loved the Lord and really was a student of the Word. God bless you and your family during this time of your loss. I look forward to seeing Bill again!!

Alice: My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Bill was a very special person to so many people. Rest in peace my dear friend.
-- Nancy Kraft

What a wonderful man. After growing up down the street from the Clarks, I had the honor of working with Bill for 15 years at the Farm Bureau. We have some wonderful memories of working there. Bill had incredible talents and many who did not know him well did not know what all Bill could do. May Bill rest in peace and my prayers are for the family, Alice, Rick and Maryann. He's now reunited with his beloved Dave and Linda.

Deepest Sympathy. Alice, so very sorry to hear of your loss. I have several memories of visits with Bill while you and I were both working at Solid Gold. May you find great comfort in your memories and the love of those around you.

Our deepest sympathies, Alice for the loss of your husband, Bill. We still miss not going to church and saying"hi Alice" and hearing Hi Alice back. God's peace and strength continue to be with you like it has been through these difficult years.

Alice and family: What a guy! My condolences to you all. Bill and I used to have great discussions in his office. Sometimes it was about how we could made our two departments work together as a team; sometimes it was local politics; and then sometime — and maybe my favorite — about him growing up in St. Louis and being part of the knot hole gang (those were the kids who watched Cardinal games through a knot hole in the fence at the Park). Bill helped achieve to the position I have at Farm Bureau today. Upon his retirement he recommended our two departments be combined and I be the director. So the Promotion and Graphic Arts Department was created. I loved his story about Bill Allen calling him one time while on vacation. Thinking about Bill since I saw the obit this morning has served up good memories., However, I find it strangely coincidental that his lab assistant, Al Hasty, died just three weeks ago. Bill was a good man!
-- Steve Simms

Bill was a wonderful man and a dear friend. I remember what an encouragement he was to our son, Paul, when Paul was entering college and considering graphic art as a major. Alice, our prayers and love are with you as you say goodbye to this wonderful man - but remember that the separation is only temporary.
-- Doug and Donna Grovesteen

I was so sorry to read about your Dad's passing. I have so many fond memories of your family from the old neighborhood. You and your families are in my prayers.

Dear Alice & family, We read about Bill's death in the Bloomington Pantagraph and wanted to send our love and sympathy to you all. We have many fond memories of Bill and pray you have comfort from the wonderful Christian legacy he leaves. Blessings, Mel and Ruth Schlueter

Dear Alice & Family, it was sad to learn of Bill’s passing last week. I will always remember his love of photography, music, and the quiet gentle way he could carry on a conversation. The greatest gift he gave me was the friendship I found with his two sons, Rick and Dave. What a great time we had growing up together. I don’t know how he put up with some of the stuff we got into but he always kept his cool and somehow found a way to laugh about it. He could give us that serious look but it always ended with a big smile. As they say, there is a season for everything and though this is a sad time, it is with great comfort and joy to know that he is now reunited with Dave and Linda. I miss them too. Remember John 14:2 when Jesus said; “In my father’s house are many mansions, for I go and prepare a place for you”, for where I am you may be also”. Our prayers are with you at this time. May you find your rest in him, who gave himself for us.

Dearest cousins, We are so sorry to hear about Bill. I am so sad that we had lost touch with you all and that this is the way to get in touch. That is a tragedy. I had an email address for Bill, but had not received a reply in so long, and feared he was unwell. I have many good memories of Bill and Alice and the kids..(when we WERE kids!) May you find comfort in the love you shared, and the love and prayers we have for you. Both of my parents, Walter and Mildred Bright are now gone ahead..and they share our Lord's love with Bill. Cerelle and Bill
-- Wm G (Bill ) and Cerelle Bright Bolon

Dear Alice and Family, We were so sadden to learn of Bill’s death. My sister Cerelle (Elaine) just discovered and emailed us the news. I don’t think I have been in contact since I attended college at the U. of Illinois and rented a room from you and Bill. I’m sorry we have lost contact over the years. My wife Karen and I (your cousin) send you are deepest condolences. Clark and Karen Bright
