I just wanted to say how very sorry I am from the bottom of my heart for the loss you have experienced, for I know he was loved so very much.
I only managed to meet William a few times but each time I found his smile compelling and his positivity and creativeness totally inspiring, he is one of the reasons I chose to do what I do and I wish I could thank him for that.
What a great man to of had in our world and I am sending all my thoughts your way.

and him in India on prints and his cushions so sorry to hear about the news
Writing this seems both surreal and incomprehensible. You were one of my greatest inspirations and a truly kind, supportive and wonderful friend. You, your family, friends and the wonderful team at WY are firmly in my thoughts. Much love my friend and sleep well xx

A huge loss to our 'world'.
