Bill was a terrific guy, a gifted and gutsy athelete and leader. It was great fun to be part of his teams as I was in Babe Ruth League and in two sports at Mt. Pleasant. "Band of Brothers" has become cliche', but the Knights and our teams of the late 50's and early 60's were that, and Bill was one of our leaders. Sad to see Bill go, and thanks telling me to play in the line instead of competing for fullback. It turned out well.

My first "real" boyfriend and one of the nicest guys ever. I send my sympathy to all the family and know that wonderful memories will help. My prayers go out to all. Beth Powrie Parker

Karen I am saddened to here of your loss of Bill. I will always cherish knowing Bill at both Mt Pleasant and Delaware Trust. Many fond memories.

Karen and Erin,
I am so sorry to hear about Bill. Somehow I just missed seeing it on Facebook and I felt so sad when I saw your post today. I didn't know him well, but I remember he was always nice to me and I liked both of you so much. Such a great couple.
You are in my thoughts and prayers more than I can say.

So sorry for the loss of a husband and Dad! Best wishes, hugs to Karen & Erin!
