I´m so sad to hear of Bills passing. I can´t believe this He stopped in a few months ago at my work and he had lunch and chatted for a bit. With me I met bill through his friend Sonny. I sure hope them too are. Behaving and not causing trouble together again. They were best buds. Rip. Bill. My deepest sympathy to the family.

My heartfelt sympathy to Bill's family. My Dad & I have been his neighbors since we moved to this house around 2011. I still can't really believe he is gone. As a friend & a neighbor he was A+++. The type we would all want if we could choose. Actually, most if not the entire neighborhood will miss him & his daily walks. It already is not the same without him. He was really a truly nice man.

I met Bill when he came into the hospital. I was the security supervisor working that night. He and I talked about life for hours. When I got off work I told him if he got admitted I would come visit him when I came back in at 11pm. He stayed up to talk to me for like an hour. I told him I would check on him before I got off at 730 because I would be off work a week. He was up and awake when I got off. Very nice man. I was upset when I saw he passed. I hope he and I can be friends in the afterlife.

What a sweet man. He made the best crab cakes for us by the dozen. Always so kind but refused to share that recipe! Lol. May he rest in peace.

I hold great memories of "Uncle" Bill. Always so personable, his demeanor was easy going and kind. My deceased sister Lil and Bill´s partner Mary had an instant connection at a gathering at our home, as they shared their health challenges. Rest in peace Bill.
