May family and friends draw close to God through prayer during this difficult time. Psalms 55 : 22

New Rochelle was never better getting the snow ,garbage,and everything else off the streets when Bill was in charge.He was a great friend to many and had a great heart. RIP my friend, my prayers are with you and family.

Dear Michael and Claudia please accept our deepest sympathy for the loss of your father . We wish we could be with you at this time but we are in Florida. Your Dad will be remembered in our prayers. Al and Rene Cobuzzi

Dear Barbara,
I am very sorry for your loss. I remember meeting your parents in your home some 30 years ago. Your father was quite a man! Thinking of you.

From the very short time I met him and his wonderful family you just knew you were among friends. Few people can touch lives as fast as he did and leaving a lasting impression. My heart and prayers go out to all his family. May God strengthen you in this time of sadness.

Lida and Family, I too wish we could be there with all of you. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. For the last 11 yrs I have had the opportunity to spend quality time with Bill ... some thing I know I will miss and for my dad - it goes without saying given what they went through together as a crew, Bill will be deeply missed, Dad has been sharing about their times together. Love to all, Peter, Cami, River, Lauren, Bob and Louise

Dear Lida and family,
I was very saddened to learn of Bill's passing. I have many wonderful memories of our get-togethers and remember his warm smile, and friendliness with everyone. Lida, I am visiting my children (in San Francisco and then Tampa), but I will call you when I get home. Our best to you and the children. Warm regards, Teresa Pelini and family

Dear Lida,
I can only offer you my deepest sympathy.
I only knew him briefly, co
me to know, respect and admire him
Immensely.
finding him and writing to him after all these years was one of the highlights of my life. I can't begin to tell how deeply I feel his loss!
God bless and keep you at this trying time.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
