William Birdsey Sr.

Rocky-Bill-Betsy,
I was very lucky to spend time on and off the water with Bill and shared his stories and laughter with my dad Ray and the Don Dalziel family of yachts we all raced offshore and on the bay. I have the great memories and we will always cherish those. Stu and Helen Reilly and Ray and Arleen Reilly (La Paz)

Rocky -

Although I never met your father, I know how much he meant to you. I am sending you sympathy and loving thoughts during this sad moment in your life.

Rocky, Bill, and Betsy-

I sailed with your father for many years. He was a great sailor, and more importantly, a very dear man. I will miss him.

My love to all of you.
