Bill has always been my cousin, and one of the 8 that have always been my Irish 1st cousins related because our Moms were sisters...The Chawk sisters.
Now it is time to say our farewell to Bill,as hard as that may be.
We will miss Bill...an important someone who has always been part of our cousinhood.
Also, I have to add that Bill had a special place in my mother Peg Chawk Zaccardi's heart,not only as her godchild...but as her good friend. May they meet again in heaven.
May Bill rest in peace now.
sincerely,JoAnne Zaccardi Kennedy

I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to work with Bill and to have had the opportunity to get to know him. Every interaction with him felt unique and special - there was never a moment that felt mundane, he had just had some way of injecting a special quality into every conversation. I mourn his loss, but I celebrate every memory of his presence.

I will miss Bill's zest for life, his love of his family and friends. "Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal. Love leaves a memory that no one can steal". You will be dearly missed old friend.

So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. To me Bill was always a classy guy. Last time I saw him was 2007 at our 50th Ascension School reunion. He looked terrific just as he was as a kid. God, please Grant Bill eternal Peace and Happiness forever.

Bill you will be missed. We sure did have a lot of interesting times together mixing pleasure and business and sometimes we couldn't tell the difference. I'm sure everyone who knew Bill will miss him. Becky the four of us did have some nice times together and I know there will be a big void for you. God Bless!!

Bill was a great guy and a great neighbor. I will miss our wide ranging backyard discussions about philosophy or religion or whatever else was on our minds. Thank you Bill for your kindness to our family and a special thank you for your interest in, and friendship with, Michael. We finished off the bottle of tequila you gifted to us last year - good stuff and good memories...
