For Bob and family - it is not easy to loose a parent, and friend, golfing partner..our thoughts are with you.

Bob, you were with us when we lost our Dad, leading the much needed humor/reality check. Bill had such a joie de vivre, I'm sure someone was there to bring up the life highlights for you...Kathleen, Bruce, Brian + Bill.
Take care. Liz Caig

"Billy", "Bobby", Bruce, Brian & "Little" Kathleen- Bill's obit brought lots of Dedham/Needham memories flowing back- and of the fun times we had with the Dynamos et al. Both Henry and I missed you when you left here for Ohio and our friendship was broken up by the miles. Henry has been gone now for 7 years, and I know how you will feel with the loss of your Dad. I have just become a "Great" grandma, so much sun has come into all our lives to fill up the loss. My best to all of you-

Mrs. Mooch
