I am sadded to hear of Bill's death. He was a wonderful man. His enthusiam for life was contagious and his love of his family, country and the people of Boston Gear was obvious in everything he did.
I enjoyed working with him and his willingness to share his knowledge with me and give me guidence has always been very special to me. I have many found memories of our travels to togehter particularly in those formative years in Louisburg. His contributions to the success of Boston Gear over the years enriched all of our lives.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Bill and Family,
My parents have informed me of the recent death of your Dad. We are sorry for your loss. May your Dad rest in peace as he has been called home to be reunited in the comfort of your mothers presence.
We certainly have some good memories of your parents from visiting the Pikes. On many occasions the adults socialized and the kids gathered around Foster Road and peeked in the windows of the Foster School. Your Dad was a kind man and helpful to Uncle Richard when he was sick with cancer.
God's Blessings from the Sturgis Family

Dear Bill, Dick & Dan and Family:

Words, however kind,
can't mend your heartache:
but those who care and
share your loss wish you
comfort and peace of mind.
May you find strength
in the love of family
and in the warm embrace
of friends.

Bill -
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Foster Road has lost a true gentleman, friend and caring neighbor.
Bill you will be sorely missed.

Rest In Peace Friend -
