William "Billy" Meara

I'm so sorry to hear this. Sending hugs from Cape Cod. xoxo

Sorry to hear of Bill´s passing. CHS friend

My condolences to the family. I had the pleasure of knowing Billy for over 30 years. My time as chef at Springfield CC in 1985. He was a gentleman and a fun guy. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who was touched by him.

Elaine, I was so sad to read about Bill's passing. I remember many good times when we got together with you both, the Fisk's and Drew. The one thing I always remember about Bill is no matter how hot the spicy dish was he always added Tabasco sauce to make it just a little spicier. And his infectious laugh was the best. He will truly be missed by so many. I pray you find peace and comfort with your many wonderful memories.

Dear Elaine and family, Deepest condolences on the loss of Billy. He adopted me on a plane headed to Jazz Fest many years ago, and stayed in contact ever since. He always talked about his family and his love for you all was evident. I am going to miss his daily Facebook messages, but even more knowing his light was part of the world. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

We are so saddened by the passing of Billy Elaine, he will be forever in our thoughts and prayers.

I was lucky to be included as part of Billy's extended family and have treasured the time spent with his real family. My thoughts and prayers to Elaine, Scot and family.

Elain, Bob and family, I am sad to read of Bill's passing. I met Bill and you when I did some survey work at O'Meara during the rebuilding after the fire. Bill was always kind, friendly and generous to me. He was true gentleman. Peace be with you. John Somers

Sending prayers to the family at this time. I am honored to have known Mr. Meara, may he rest with peace.
