I was told ?Bill Kirkman? dies yesterday. He was a creator and envisionaire of the North Coast. Besides creating SeaHorse Ranch he was also the U.S ambassador to the North Coast for a time. He helped me greatly (even wrote a letter for my gf to visit the U.S) and was a wonderful and kind man.

For the last few year he had alzheimer?s and was sad to watch (he didn't remember me). He lives on with his son and daughter and a true legend for all of us who knew him. He will be sorely missed.

Yes, he was a legend. We on the North Coast are all better because of his vision. I, too, send my condolences to the family.

I also would like to extend my condolences to the Kirkman family. Bill was an influence in my life in the DR specifically in Sosua. I will never forget his guidance. RIP Bill

My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

He had a vision to build a golf course. Too bad he never got the chance.

Knew Bill from the time whenhe managed Bank of America in Santiago!

His wife at the time was a colleague at the university and his children were close to mine.

Last time I remember seeing him was a while ago at Playa Grande where he was wheeling and dealing.

Good bye Bill.. Rest in Peace.
