William T. Cavanaugh Jr.

WILLIE!
I resisted signing because they don't let you make the capitals big enough for the shout out...
but don't believe everything you might have heard at the funeral. I will be taking the dog--
just not today.
I am sure that in the days to come, Jude will be getting a lot of mail and visitors, and how would anybody recognize the house with no Cookie Monster to greet them?
one of the gifts of your life was to bring people together, sometimes in combinations as unusual but...

During Bill’s final days, Jude told me that she would wake up at 2:00 a.m. each night as if the phone was ringing even though it was not. I think that I received the call last night, hopefully Jude was sleeping. Even though I never get cold and rarely wear a coat all winter, I awoke at 2:00 a.m. feeling cold. I got colder and colder and began to shiver. I woke up Jeanne and we put the electric blanket on high and added blankets. As I lay there for hours feeling horrible in my sweatshirt...

Dear Vi
It has been so many years since we last met, but I feel as if it were yesterday. We were so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. We will keep you and his family in our thoughts and prayers.

Willie T -
I wore my pin! I told you that I would. I would have worn it a lot sooner but then I would miss you yelling at me as I entered your room, "Did you wear your pin? No? Then go get it!!"
I will miss your phone calls - "Mosey, Bill Cavanaugh here". You usually had something very "important" to tell me like "turn on QVC they are showing the latest Lock-N-Lock set". Or "check out what they're making on the cooking channel!" It will always give me a laugh listening to you talk...

vi, you have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your son billy, i can still remember him as a little boy growing up on hedley ave in central falls,go bless you and your family

To the family of Bill Cavanaugh, I am so deeply saddened to learn of Bill's passing. I was a former supervisor of Bill's when he first came to DCYF and I have many happy memories of Bill.... his amazing cakes and recipes, his sense of humor and his genuine kindness. Bill's balloon animals could bring smiles to the faces of children who had suffered (as well as his coworkers when they suffered boredom). He brought a lot of smiles and laughter to a work place that was often difficult. Please...

judy-- i was so saddened to hear of bill's death. we worked together at mhs in johnston and i still remember those great christmas parties at your house complete with bill's decorated little villages. i'll always remember his kindness and caring attitude for his patients. please know that my thought s and prayers are with you. sincerely, judy braden

I first met Bill 30 years ago. He brought magic and happiness to everyones whose life he touched. He will be missed.

Please accept my condolences on Bill's passing. I met him a couple of years ago when he was on jury duty - he was a real gentleman who took his job seriously. it was a pleasure to know him.
