Rosemary, Shelagh, Chip, John, Anne and family: I am saddened to hear of Bill's passing. I had the great privilege of working with Bill for many years, listening to him tell jokes and stories, and learning from his wisdom and experience. Although Bill had many friends, his greatest joy was his children and grandchildren. He will be remembered as a good, kind family man, a soldier from the Greatest Generation, and a first-rate attorney. (And, of course, for his fondness of the number 103!) He will be missed by many. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Bill will be missed. He gave me my first job as a patent attorney and taught me how to deal with clients. I have always appreciated him and what he did for me.

So sorry to learn of Bill's passing. He and my parents were great pals from the Tatnuck area and I remember both Bill and Paul and their dear mother well from my childhood in Worcester. I will be sure to remember Bill in my prayers.

Love,
Tricia, Jim, Kristina & Molly
