Bill Anderson - Venting in Heaven

William H. Andersen (1920-2011)

William H. Andersen, known to his friends as "Bill", died this past Wednesday, May 11, 2011 at his home in Racine, Wisconsin, with his wife of 65 years, Vena, at his side.

I remember Bill for his leadership of the ventriloquism section of the Fellowship of Christian Magicians, for his wit and kind heart. He wrote many ventriloquism scripts filled with some of the best corny jokes around, and while it has been years since hearing it, I can still remember being fascinated by the material of "Wally Nutt," a young boy ventriloquist figure who joked about living in the Nutt house with his Nutt family. Wally went to great lengths to describe how "the whole family is Nutts!"

Bill will be missed but his body of work lives on.
