I will miss Bill's enjoyable company, always quick to make a joke to put others at ease. His happy go lucky disposition made him a great friend. How fortunate he was to have such a loyal companion to travel with and in life.

Dear Mary and the Moody Family,

I worked with Bill at the U.S. Postal Service in Boston, MA from 1986 until he retired in 1989. Although I have not seen him since he retired, I have often wondered about him. This was a wonderful man and they don't make them like this anymore He was so kind and it was always a pleasure to see him every day. I know how much he loved to travel. My sincerest condolences to you all. RIP Bill Moody.
