Bill died at age 76 of a heart attack. Bill taught life seminars, lived in China for about five years. He did what he loved - helping people and giving unconditional love. He is survived by his sister, Pam Dean '62; two daughters: Sherri Dean and Shauna Dean O' Reilly; and two grandchildren, Megan O' Reilly and Finn O' Reilly.
Got to know Bill later in life as we were not really "connected" in high school. Our get togethers were usually at class reunions or when Bill would visit SoCal for one reason or another. Our discussions were not of a light nature. Spiritual matters, our purpose on the planet, how to reach the top of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and we can't forget karma, and the role it plays in our daily lives. He was a good man and I will miss him when the class of 64 once again gathers, but I will not forget him. Rest in paradise, Willy aka Ted Danson.
I didn't know Bill well when we were in high school, but since he moved up to the Northwest, I had a chance to get to know him better. I had lunch with him and Craig Chastain a few times over the past few years. What a kind, gentle, and wonderful person. I will miss him greatly.
