Now that 10 years have passed, I think of Bill and miss his friendship just as strongly. The pandemic challenges us individually and as a society. The time seculed offers time to reflect on the loss of our close relationships. As we begin to experience some measure of normalcy in the coming new year, I am hopeful and thankful for the warm memories I have of my trusted friend, Bill. May he feel the love.

Bill, my dearly loved nephew and your family are still in my daily prayers

Terese, Carmela, Nicole and Family
My thoughts and prayers will be with you during this difficult time. My memories of Bill will always remain the same as in years past. I will remember him as a kind and gentle person but most importantly a loving dad. Although we lost touch many years ago, the good ole' days were always something we could talk about. Terese, Carmela and Nicole, your dad will be another angel constantly looking out for you, now and always. I am sorry that I was unable to attend the service, Laura told me it was lovely.

A person is lucky to have a close friend from childhood through adulthood. Being friends with Bill made me a lucky guy. Just wish it would've lasted longer. He will be missed.

A great brother, a loving father to three beautiful daughters, and a man who will surely be missed by those who loved him.
You left us all too soon, but your spirit will continue to guide me.

I worked with Bill at Independent Electric Supply in 1990s. Bill was a great guy and we had a lot of laughs together. He will be missed and we will keep Bill and all of you in our prayers.
