Dear family of Bill, we moved into the neighborhood over 20 years ago and were lucky enough to meet Bill and Mary. They made this neighborhood a wonderful place to be and raise a family. We are heartbroken over his passing (as we were for Mary too) and have said our prayers. Bill was one of the kindest people we have ever met and will miss him dearly.

Lived a block away but my best friend lived across the street on the corner and that is where all the neighborhood kids gathered. I think of the Christy boys, the store and the fun we had in the neighborhood every...

John....Sorry to read of your Dad's passing. He was such a cheerful, kind gentleman and a wonderful neighbor. Your Dad and Dick often discussed "world affairs" over the back fence. Now they can do the same in Boscawen. May he rest in peace.
