I remember many things about my Uncle Bill. Lots of parties and family gatherings on Coit Ave, West Warwick. It was my Uncle Bill that introduced me to ice hockey in 1971. He loved the sport. I took him to a Dallas Stars Hockey game in 1995. I still remember him screaming at the top of his lungs for the team to go in to "a box formation" on a defensive play during a penalty kill. (like those Pro's were going to listen to him). We had a great time that night.

Our hearts are heavy and we are deeply saddened on the loss of my dear beloved brother Bill. We shall miss his bright smile, sparkling blue eyes, sharp wit, and infectious laugh. He found humor in everything and loved to laugh. He was devoted to his beautiful wife Jeanne and his family. The world lost a wonderful man. We find comfort in our treasured memories.

I had the privilege of knowing Bill in the senior softball league in Winter Haven. He was one of my best friends at the ballpark. I enjoyed when we quizzed each another about MLB trivia.
You will be missed, my friend.
