I worked many basketball games with Bill. He was the kindest man I´ve known. I will always remember his dry observational humor and his supportive personality.

Bill was one of the kindest people I´ve ever met. He folded me into his family without hesitation when I married Mary Lou´s cousin, Jeff. It was a blessing to know Bill and to have shared life´s path with him. Love to the family - I know he treasured them.

One of my favorite memories of you, Bill, is sitting quietly beside you on the piano bench as you prepared for Sunday worship in Fellowship Hall. I´m thankful I shared a "pandemic bubble" with you and MaryLou as we Zoom worshiped on Sundays. You had the best, most sincere hugs. May you Rest in Loving Peace with our LORD! Love you...

We have many pleasant memories of attending closing nights of the Grotto's Festival of Lights and hearing the Grotto Carolers concert. Bill really loved singing in that ensemble and especially singing in one of the caroling quartets.

I umpired high school baseball with Bill for over a decade. He was a joy to work with because he was as solid as a rock - fair but firm. Before and after games, we had a great time sharing stories about family and friends. When I was a rookie umpire, Bill was a great mentor, but I he was more than that. Bill was a genuinely good person. This world will miss Bill.
