Macy and Sharon I am so sorry for your loss, I have lots of great memories of Macy and her dad in the store together. Macy it was always so clear that you shared a great bond with your dad! I feel very lucky to have known him. He became a friend to both my husband and I. We got to see him recently and he talked alot about Macy and Sharon. It was always very evident you were his world. My deepest sympathies to you all.

To Bill's Family:
I did not know your father & son but from reading what was written about him in the Bangor Daily News article today, I realize that he was one special human being. My sympathies to you all for losing such a kind man!

I still can't believe this is happening, it's very unbelieveable. And the toughest thing Ive ever had to go through. This family has had their ups and downs but that never meant we didnt love eachother. Dad- we have shared so many memories to even count and i'm glad I got to call you my best friend. I know that you arnt really gone and that you're going to be with me all the time, but it still isnt the same. You definetly will be missed, you were a big part in everyones life. I know your great nephews are hearbroken, you brightened their day everytime they saw you, they just think the world of you dad, and I know that you did too. I love you sooo much Dad!
And I just wanted to say thank you for everyones support over the last few days, it really does mean alot, I love you Dad always and forever, you will never be out of my heart.
Love your daughter Macy!

I grew up with Billy , road the bus with him from 1st grade to our freshman year., and from the time I was 11 to 13 him and all our friends from the area use to tear up Copeland Hill with our dirt bikes and an 3 wheelers, he was always a kind person and even though I hadn't seen him in a few dog years know he was a great person from the kid he was and i am sorry for your loss.
