Was very saddened to learn of Bill's passing.
What a great guy. Bill would help anyone and go out of his way to do it. So many memories of an old friend and all good
Rest in peace, Bill, you certainly deserve it. Condolences to all the family.

Our concdolences to all of the McGough family. To say he was a fixture in our life growing up is an understatement. Most Saturdays we would spend lunchtime and probably one night a week for dinner at Piledggi's and would enjoy the company of Mr. McGough. He was always friendly and helpful to our family. Rest In Peace Mr. McGough.
