We would like to extend our deepest condolences. As you know, we have been guests at the Bonaire since the early 90's and continued our family vacations with you not only for your unique location, but because of your Dad and the warm feeling of family. We considered Bill a good friend. Our chats and many laughs will sincerely be missed. He truly loved his family and his life at the Bonaire. He is remembered and loved by his guests.

One year I sent my family to check in with another group , as you know we have sometimes 20 rooms ( Arias , Lima, Machado, Saindon etc,,) and the parking lot was packed but I did have a room so do to work I got there a day late with the car. Your father was controlling the traffic coming and going and I came in without the parking paper. Well you father was not in a better mood when he saw me park and said you have to have a room to park here but it was windy and we could hear each other so we where not on same page to say least but when we understood what had happen things where ok. I didnt see your Father till later that day at the bar and he came up to me and said " Look young man I am very sorry for the mix up earlier and I want you to just relax and enjoy your stay plus the first drink is on me" I was totally floored that the owner who is busy all day took that time to say sorry and enjoy, after that we always talked at the bar....A truly great man your father .....He will be missed and our condolences to your family. Sorry for long message ....Lauro Arias and Family. I have a story on how your father and I got to know each other very well one year.

Bill will surely be missed!!! Our deepest sympathies to the family. We loved seeing Bill at Sandbar Bill's enjoying himself! We have been going to the Bon-Aire for well over a decade. We look forward to it every year. Ironically, my father passed away last summer three weeks before our Bon-Aire vacation. Being there was the best therapy we could've ever had. My dad loved it there. He was with us in spirit as Bill will always be. We even chose St. Pete Beach as the destination to spread my dad's ashes. Looking forward to seeing you all in July again!

I was introduced to the Bon Aire about 10 years ago through a friend Bob Rosenbarger. My children and I have stayed there on many vacations and it is always a joy to stay there. Bill was a visionary when it came to providing a place for families to vacation. The atmosphere he provided was fun and family oriented. We look foward to staying at the Bon Aire in future vacations and hope the staff will maintain Bill's high reputation in resort vacationing. Again, so sorry for your loss and will keep you in our thoughts. So sorry to here of your loss. I was introduced to the Bon Aire about 10 years ago through a friend Bob Rosenbarger.
