Not sure what to say?

Bill was one of the best players on the 1954 SLUH BASKETBALL TEAM.

We were so sad to hear of your dad's passing, Karen. I know how much you loved him, and we'll miss both of you swimming laps here in Cape Elizabeth.

Bill was an excellent student, classmate and friend. Tom Meirink

Kay, I was sorry to hear about Bill, but reading his obituary and the many tributes see that he enjoyed a full rewarding life. May that comfort you and the rest of your family in the coming days. Peace, Bill McShane

Dear Billy (Memo) and family, I am so sorry that your dear, loving dad has passed. He was always so proud of all of you. I have a procedure on my cornea at 8:00 a m tomorrow so I don´t know if I will be able to pray with you and celebrate your Dad´s life. I hope so but just in case I can´t, please know my heart goes out to you. (Señora) Vinny Bellone

Hi Teresa, Karen and Billy - My sincere condolences on the loss of your wonderful Father. Bill was a special friend to me, and I will always treasure the time we spent together.

Teresa, Karen and Billy: So sorry to hear the news about your dad. He was a special friend from high school days onward. He and his wife Dorothy used to come on our boat on the Mississippi River for Sunday outings, always a fun time. With other friends we hiked the Grand Canyon together and spent a night at the bottom. I would usually visit him on my St Louis trips. He was one of the few non- family to attend my mom's funeral. As mentioned to Teresa, there's much medical research on...

Hello, Teresa, Karen and Billy I am so sorry to hear this news! I just loved your dad! He gave me great advice over the years. He was my biggest Cheerleader too! I can remember babysitting you three like yesterday. I lived at your house! I know living across the street with all my siblings made it quite exciting for Bill. Your dad helped my family out more than I will ever know. You had a wonderful dad! You are all in my prayers!
