Not sure what to say?

I was recently informed of Bill's passing. I have not seen him since I moved from Wilbraham to Florida about 10 years ago. I remember him as Corky, the KJ that I and fellow karaoke singer all knew and loved back then. I heard that he had been singing at karaoke until he couldn't stand up anymore. He is probably still singing in heaven. Rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to Bill's family. I knew 'Corky' through karaoke and it was always a pleasure to see him whenever he came to one of my shows. I'm sure he has found a microphone to continue his singing. Rest peacefully Corky, you have earned it. TommyTunes

I'M NOT SURE OF THE EXACT YEAR I MET BILL. I BELIEVE IT WAS 1969-73. WE HUNG OUT WITH CHUCK RAE, BILLY STANHOPE, GARY BERTE AND PLAYED LOTS OF BASKETBALL AND SOFTBALL, DID A LITTLE DRINKING, CHASED AFTER GIRLS AND HAD LOTS OF FUN. I RECONNECTED WITH BILL AFTER NOT SEEING HIM FOR MANY YEARS AT WESTERN MASS RELICS SOFTBALL A COUPLE YEARS AGO. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE HIM AGAIN. MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO THIS FAMILY. THE WORLD WILL NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT BILL IN IT.

In memory of a wonderful person. Bill I hope I thanked you enough for being perfect for my mom. 21 yrs is a long time. you both loved going to Aruba, enjoying your Karaoke family on the weekends fortunately we have the videos to celebrate you, staying @ Lake George for the Elvis festival, or just sitting at home together watching the Celtics. You learned web design for Jude Craft with many selfless hours invested. It was always a pleasure to have a conversation with you about anything. You...

I will truly miss you. Karaoke will never be the same without you. Thanks for the memories.

God bless you , Uncle Bill. I am gonna miss you so much. I always loved your zeal for life! I loved our chats about Baseball. You and Judi were definitely one of the highlights to our trip to New England in 2021. Rest in Peace. Robert & Tracie Hill and all the West Coast Hill Family.
