Barbara, I just found out today the very sad news about your father, and just wanted to tell you how very sorry I was. You were in my thoughts all through the Thanksgiving break, and I know there are no words for the loss of a father. I'm so very sorry.

Dear Barbara, Bill,Edna and the entire Skelley family,
Bill touched so many lives at the Belmont Senior Center. He was such a force over the years as an advocate for the needs of our seniors. If it were not for him so many would not have had the joy of playing Bingo each week over so many years. He will forever have a very special place in the hearts of so many in the community and in all our memories. I am so sorry for your loss.

Barbara and Family:
We had great times at the Retired Cambridge Police and Fire Association functions. His smile and quick wit will be greatly missed. I (Jack) will personally remember and miss all the times he affectionally yelled at me.....
Bill:
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
