Here is a video that captures much of the 11 November 2012 memorial service (the tape ended before we did, but most of the service is here).
The initial and concluding poems are in Bill’s own voice, recorded around 2008.

Our community memorial service for Bill will be held on Sunday, December 2, at 1:30 PM, at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley.
No RSVP is necessary, but if you are a member of Facebook, you can RSVP for the event here.
I have finally scanned Bill’s book in as a PDF. A few of the pages are missing (November 2012), but I hope to find them soon.
The Trampleasure family is planning two memorial services for friends and family.
The main service will be on Sunday, December 2nd at 1:30 at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley (in Kensington). We will post more details of this event soon, but wanted people to know to save the date.
We are holding a smaller, family and close friends service on Sunday, November 11th at UC Berkeley. While we’re not being explicit about who “close friends” are, we would also like people who are not able to attend the December 2nd service to feel welcome.
The November 11th (Armistice Day) service will be held at one of Bill’s favorite locations at UC Berkeley, “the Golden Tree”–a tall gingko tree outside of Gianini Hall (see map below). We will gather at 11:00 AM, in recognition of the armistice that ended World War 1.
Those who are up for a hike are invited to join at 9:00 AM for a two-mile hike to the Big C, another of Bill’s favorite places at UC. The Big C is on the hill behind the Greek Theater and Memorial Stadium. The hike is about one mile each way, with about 600 feet of climbing on the way up.
After the 11:00 service, attendees are invited to join at Yali’s Cafe for coffee/tea/snacks/conversation. Yali’s was one of Bill’s favorite Cafe.
