I was so shocked to hear about Bill. My heart and prayers are with all of you. I have very fond memories of Bill, from living next door during my teenage years and as an adult. His sense of humor will be greatly missed. We all loved him. He was a very special man.

Our sincere regrets to the family, Billy was a very kind man. My husband and I owned Country Subs and Chicken in Clifton Park and Bill and Sparo would come in everyday excepcially on Fridays to get our New England claim chowder that he loved. Our paths crossed again when we met him working for Bruce Tanski (Fairway Meadows). We built a house there, he was kind and giving. His kindness affected everyone around him. Our prays are with you all.
