This bench is located in the Snowmass Mall.  "Billy's Bench" is carved into the back of the bench, and there is also a metal plate on it reading as follows:

In memory of our friend Bill Heldman.  The joy he brought to

life was an inspiration.  Wherever he was, was love and sunshine. 

The Aspen Board of Realtors established a Bill Heldman memorial scholarship fund in 1985 as a tribute in memory of Bill Heldman.  In 1997 Stark King's name was added and it is now known as the "Bill Heldman-Stark King Memorial Scholarship Fund."

Photos of the bench and plaque are below.
