William Joseph "Bill" Connell Jr.

As a terrific neighbor and friend over recent years, Bill and I shared past experiences covering varies topics such as family, football, wives and military service. These conversations were always pleasant with common agreement. Discussions seemed to center around breakfast biscuits or offered meals for him to enjoy. He was a very thoughtful and respectful individual with great knowledge of history and displayed a sincere concern for others. He will be greatly missed due to his drive-by...

I have many fond memories of childhood listening to Bill and my dad entertain everyone with their jokes and stories while relaxing on their sailboats. Here is a picture of Bill with my dad and one of their sailing friends, Bud Young.

He gave me a lot of great memories and made my childhood a lot better.
