I met Bill over 3 years ago. He has always been an up standing person and a good friend. He always is trying to help somebody in need and some times ends up on the short end of the stick. For instance, Lidsey Mcallister. I heard throught the grape vine that he was helping a girl that had some drug problems. He paid for her rehab and gave her a place to stay. Then I heard she crashed into our gate and Bill had to pay for it. Even after that he still stuck by her side. There are several other people that Bill has helped in the past. Unfortunatley when you are always doing kind things for other people inevitably someone will take advantage of your good nature. No one should be above the law. Lidsey should have to pay for what she did. There should also be consiquences for the people who let her off.

Lindsey was a very nice and polite girl. I think that everything that happened is a shame and this just goes to show you how drugs can destroy lives. Lindsey, her parents, and many of us at the condo were affected. For months, Bill would lament to me that the mother and father showed little interest in getting involved. I think Bill tried to help and quickly found himself over his head but at least he tried to do something. In the end I think he was effective. I believe that Lindsey would not be alive today if Bill and others did not intervene. Bill made significant sacrifices. The mess of that issue caused problems for Bill with business partners and friends and he couldn't date while it was going on. Lindsey would sleep on his couch each and every night. His social life was nonexistent during the period and he was always stressed out. It is a shame that the parents do not enforce accountability. It's a year and a half later and no one has been repaid. Drug addicts always want to find someone else to blame. The lack of accountability further enables this continued behavior. I definitely think the court action should be investigated given the parents and Mercy Street Church's relationship with the court and the drug rehab she is at. We should be understanding of people with drug problems to a point but justice should be fair and equal. When a crime is committed the drug addict is now a criminal just like any other criminal. The courtroom is not a place for favors and addicts should not be given a separate and privaleged justice.

I was fortunate enough to be roommates with Bill for quite a while. He is one of the nicest, most ethical, morally responsible people I have had the pleasure of knowing. If I had to find one fault in his personality, it is that he is too nice to people at times, even to his on detriment. There was one incidence when he introduced me to a nice girl named Lindsey that he expressed to me his concern about some of her issues and her well being. I believe the way he was represented by certain people in that incident was not only unfortunate, but unfair, to such a honest upstanding person. I feel that the parties should be accountable for the damage to the condo and Bill's personal property, and do the responsible thing and make reparation for the all the damages. Sincerely, C-

I definitely agree with everything you said about Bill. I've known him for many years, both personal and business. Bill is an extremely genuine guy who puts others before him and has proved it in many ways from taking in people in need of help to supporting non-profit organizations. Also as a resident of the condos I've seen the video of the car/gate incident and it would be nice if someone besides Bill would take responsibility. I'm positive if Bill damaged someone else's vehicle he would take full responsibility...no questions asked!
