Billy was a great guy. He always made me laugh. I will miss our talks about the different campgrounds he had visited. Whenever I was going camping at a new campground I would ask Billy if he had stayed at that particular campground and what he thought about the campground. He always gave me good advice. He will be sadly missed. My thoughts are with you.

Muriel, Mickey and Suzie,
I was sad to read about Bill. It's been many, many years but I still remember my Lancaster St. days very fondly. I practically lived with you all. I hope time will heal your sorrow and I know that he will live on in your hearts. God Bless
