Not sure what to say?

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

A gentle soul that always seemed to have a smile on his face. Over the 7 years I knew him I heard many tales of storytelling to the grandchildren, singing to his wife who clearly adored him, and making people happy with his upbeat and genuine presence. I will miss his laugh and his smile, remembering him fondly always.

I will always cherish Billy as my boss at the Town Crier. As a friend when we would bump into each other he always asked after my husband. Wanted to be remembered to my daughter and family making sure how they were doing. His smile and caring personality I will always hold dear. Hugs and deepest sympathy to to Linda and family

Linda and family, our deepest sympathy, love and prayers to you all. we had such a good visit with Bill at the wedding a short time ago. continuing holding your family in prayer.

Linda and family, was so saddened by the news of Bill passing, sending prayers, love to you all. Rosealie Dascomb Howe

We loved every minute spent with Bill & Linda. They made me feel so welcome when I moved to Brattleboro in 2006. I dedicated the Brattleboro Winter Carnival program to Bill when I was president. Bill was the kindest, gentlest man we have ever had the pleasure of sharing space with. We love you Bill.

Played baseball with Billy, Donnie Gray & others when Bill & Donnie lived next to one another in Esteyville. We both played in Little League as well. All of the accolades & condolences already mentioned about Billy are absolutley spot on. He was someone who was very hard to dislike.

Only spent my senior year BUHS. Ran for class president against Bill Bedard. Bill was a great guy who would help people when he could. Helped me on our Mayotte Reunion in 2024. Great guy.

It was always nice having supper with my cousin Bill and Linda. And helping out anyway I could. He was a great man, and person. He will be missed greatly.
