Farewell to Bill Pierce. He was just a regular guy - and one of the nicest and smartest people I ever met. He worked for years at the Courthouse Racquet Club until moving onto bigger and better things. He was a regular volunteer for the Mississippi Symphony as well. He always had a kind word to say and never said a mean thing about anyone. He was a man who literally lived for his family. He died of a massive heart attack a few days ago. He touched more than a few lives and will be missed by more than a few.

I have not seen him in 20 plus years, but knew him from the Courthouse long ago, and yes, an absolute wonderful fella. God speed Bill.
I think he did some work for umc too. He was a fine man RIP sir
Good ole Bill. I worked with him at The Courthouse for 20 years and have stayed in touch
With home since I left in 2007. There are a few people you are blessed to know in your life with
The integrity and kindness like Bill Pierce. In the 30 years I have known him I not once heard him say
An unkind word about one person or even speak with an unkind tone. He was always willing to stop what he was doing and have
An uninterrupted conversation with you no matter how long it took 😇. The most important think I knew about Bill was his willingness to
Share his love for Jesus his Lord and Savior.
Bill will be missed. But I know for sure when I die I will see Bill again in Heaven. Blessed Assurance

Well, I knew Bill from way back in the mid '70's! What many may not know is that Bill was an excellent dancer and performed with the Mississippi Ballet Theatre for many years. I studied acting with James Best and his wife, JoBee, owned MBT so that's how I met Bill. He was kind and genuine as everyone has said and more than a little bit funny. The news of Bill's passing hit me hard. Although we have not stayed in close touch over the years, we checked in with each other via Facebook now and then and somehow, I guess I just always thought he would be there. I sent my condolences to all who loved him, especially his beautiful wife. I lost my husband a few years ago to a massive heart attack so I am familiar with the road she will travel. Blessings to all. And rest in peace, sweet Bill!
Guillaume. Piercekoff. Twinkletoes! He answered to all those names, with an amusement that dictated the same response in return. I never once was around Bill that I didn't smile, laff, or downright guffaw! I was fortunate to re-connect with him online, after decades. His default kindness had blossomed into something more deeply spiritual. Divine, even. My prayers go out to his wife, whom I've not met. The loss will be challenging! But, know this...Bill is right where he is supposed to be. A part of God.
Bill will be missed by many. I just hope he realized while he was alive how many people admired and liked him due to his kind ways. Never a mean word crossed his lips.
I did not know Bill, but am pleased to know there is at least one person you anonymous losers will not trash.
