Helen and family, I am sorrowed to hear of Bill's passing from here with us earthlings to the Garden of the Angels with GOD and all his family and friends whom have gone before him. I will always remember working with Bill on the water system for the complex, finding leaks and getting it done. He was a gentleman's gentleman and it was an honor to know him and you my dear. May GOD give you strength and family love to to help you grieve and remember the happy times. My prayers and thoughts are with you and family.

On behalf of the McCaffrey family, our deepest sympathies. In remembering times gone by, the ritual of having to sing a song for Mr. Corcoran to get the nickel candy bar at Halloween, will always be a fond memory.
