Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I had know Bill for approximately 40 years and did some excavation work for me in Groton. He was always a fair and very hard working man. My condolences to Tim, Mrs. Coon and the rest of the Coon Clan. Bill may you RIP

Tim/Lynn, Sorry for your loss. Cliff Allyn Jr.

Billy was well known and liked by our family. His teasing was endless on the job site and the other contractors always enjoyed his jabs. He gave as good as he got. He will be missed.

I just want to say I´m very sorry. He was my dad´s best friend,I met Mr. Coon (Bill) years ago when my dad was alive and he was a wonderful kind generous man. Diane was a beautiful woman her and her husband Bill had a beautiful home and their hats were bigger than the house. I´m so sorry for your loss. My condolences from me and my late father Sam Campo.

Dear TIM,LYNN AND CHRIS, I HAVE SO MANY MEMORIES over the last 60yrs OF ALL OF US GROWING U P TOGETHER ON SPICER RD. I ALWAYS REMBER YOUR DAD COMING HOME IN THE DUMP TRUCK AND UR MOM MAKING SURE THE BREAD WAS DONE FOR THE EVENING MEAL. UR DAD HAD A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR AND HAD NICK NAMES FOR MANY PEOPLE FOR SURE. BOTH UR PARENTS ARE STILL WITH EACH OTHER IN SPIRIT. MAY THEY REST IN PEACE AND CONTINUE TO LOOK OVER THE PIT.

I remember when I needed some site work done. In 1974. My surveyor, Dick Mansfield said, why don't you call this young Billy Coon? He does a great job and will treat you right. I did, and used him for 40 years. He was a great guy and his wife Diane was a wonderful lady.
