We were very sorry to hear about Bill from our son Joe. We enjoyed the time very much that we spent with you and Bill after the Boston Marathon a few years ago.
Sincerely,

I caught my very first fish with my uncle Bill in a row boat he rowed for a few miles , He left a very lasting impression when i was young between letting me play with his trains in my grandparents attic and going fishing from Louies in Port Washington in a row boat to buying what he thought were chickens and helping me build a coupe for them, to bad they turned out to be ducks. He was a special person to me I will miss him
