Dear Claire & Family,

Steven and our family are so sad on the passing of your beloved husband and father Bill. Bill was Steve's closet friend; he loved spending time with Bill. Steve said he was been friends with Bill since 1967 when he first met him coming out of the service. My fondest memories are the two guys going fishing on Bill's boat. Claire and myself would meet them in Newburyport for dinner. The 4 of us would have dinner at Michael's Harborside. We always had a good time. Bill will surely be missed by many. Our prayers and thoughts are with your family. Take care,

Eve & Steven Meegan
