I will always remember Bill as one of the "good ole" Red Star guys. Always in a good mood and whistling a tune as he walked down the dock every morning. Was a pleasure to work with Bill and my thoughts are with him and his family

Sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was always a pleasure to talk to after a long night on the road for Red Star. Quick with a smile and a good attitude. I know you will miss him as will the people he worked with at the terminal and on the streets of the Albany area.

Joey, Butch (Brian) & family,

My condolences are with you and yours at this sad time. I remember your dad when you guys lived in Feura Bush and he was always very pleasant with the kids.

Just remember...when you feel the slightest breeze pass by you, and you realize that there isn't a breeze at all, it's your dad/grandpa gently wrapping his arms around you keeping you all safe.

Mr. Walton:
Rest in Peace and Celebrate with the Angels in our Beautiful Heavens above!

My Thoughts and Prayers are with you all!
