Not sure what to say?

I was so sorry to hear about his passing. I worked with Bill for many years at Wayne Distributing and we had many good conversations over the years. He always had so many funny "stories" to share. Bill was a great and funny guy and had a wonderful wife. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to the family I worked with Bill at Wayne Dist for a little over 13 years. He was a dedicated man to his job and always talked about his family and so proud of his grandchildren. My prayers and thoughts are with you. My dad also sends his sympathy (Butch Sormanti).

My deepest sympathy to you on the loss of Bill, a wonderful man. We worked together at the brewery and I have many fond memories of the times we shared. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Bud Alves

Mr. Devereaux,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Navy during WW II aboard the attack transport ship USS Sibley(APA-206). And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. I can't imagine what it must been like dealing with Japanese coastal artilery at Iwo Jima and kamikake attacks at both Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
