I work at Merrill Gardens & while Bill lived there we always enjoyed his singing and sense of humor. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him but I'm sure he is up giving the angels a few singing lessons. God Bless Bill and Keep him safe and put his arms around him now.

To my sweet uncle Bill... I love you and will always cherish the special memories we shared together. I will never forget all the times you broke out into song and serenaded me, did a little dance and enjoyed every last bite of your white chocolate raspberry cheesecake Toddy would make you;) You made this world a brighter place to be in and put smiles on the faces of those who had the pleasure of knowing you. Everytime I feel the tears welling up, I try to remember how wonderful it must be to be with Uncle Pete, Grammy Elaine, Grampa Harry, and your parents:) I know now that you will always be on the "Sunny Side of the Street"... I love you.. ~ Jenn your "Angelface"

I am so sorry to hear about Bills passing. I was just thinking about him the other day and wondered how he was. I will always remember how happy he always was, singing and dancing, always looking forward to his next trip to New York to see the newest plays, and his 'word of the day'. May his happy spirit live on forever.
