Bill will be missed in the neighborhood. He was a great neighbor. I will miss him taking his daily walks and talking to my dog Sadie when he saw her. Kaye and Bill were such a great couple. I'll always remember them fondly.

I was so blessed to have Uncle Bill as my Godfather. I always felt his love and thoughtfulness over the years. I admired his quiet strength and artistic talent! His beautiful marriage to Aunt Kaye was inspirational. They both will be missed by all of us.
