Mr. Shepard used to record my dad's church services at First Reformed Church of Jamacia. His son Billy and I spend countless times after church playing together after services. Mr. Shepard was the first one to try and teach me to water ski. He was also very patient with me when he and Billy took me along for the 5 Borough Bicycle ride, I had a little 3 speed bike and a pair of skinny legs to pedal with. I also remember how Mrs. Shepard sang like an angel, how they had the very first microwave oven I ever saw. I still have the F-14 tie pin that Mr. Shepard gave my dad.
Thank You and your family for being such a big and wonderful part of my childhood.

Apart from all his other contributions, I especially remember how Bill always gravitated toward youngsters, including my grandchildren, who came to see the boat. He would spend lots of time explaining everything about the building process and showing them around. He will be greatly missed.

Bill was amazing! He was a sailor, engineer, shipwright, sky diver, devoted husband, father, grandfather —— and a lover of heights. Several years ago, Bill climbed to the top of the lightship Nantucket to string Christmas lights. Both the climb and the lights made Bill (to his dismay) a legend.
Our deepest condolences to your family and to all of us who knew you, Bill.

Bill may have been the best gentleman I ever met. At The Waterfront Center, it was wonderful to witness the intersection of fun, expertise, humility, and dignity. I am sending love to all who will miss Bill.
