Not sure what to say?

You were a wonderful brother and brother-in-law. You gave it a valiant fight and are now at Peace. We will miss you dearly I will remember when you were young the fun we had while I taught you how play baseball and football. You developed a life long interest in sports. We remember how loving you were at our wedding. We remember going to Philadelphia and how hot your wedding day was. You worked hard all your life and overcame many struggles which made us proud of you. You are now at peace...

Thank you, Bill, for all that you gave us. I'm especially grateful for your creative poetry shared on Facebook. It was a valuable expression of our current struggle during the pandemic. It meant a great deal to me and endures as a comfort.

My sympathy and prayers to Bill's family. His kids and Val, Mark and Connie and their families. I am lucky to have wonderful memories of growing up with Bill on good old Broughton Rd. plus going to school with him. My favorite memory is when Bill's parents where taking him and Mark to Richardson's Dairy for an icecream and always seemed to invite me along. Bill will be missed but he is watching over us and we will see him again. I am thankful, that according to Mark, Bill knew Biden...

My heart is broken. My thoughts, love and prayers to all his family and friends. May all your wonderful memories help bring comfort and peace in the difficult days ahead. I will miss him tremendously. Fly free Bill! Watch over all of us❤

I remember the forts and the fields and the bike riding and snowball fights on Broughton Road, too.

Connie, Mark and the entire Dumais family - so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. Knew him way back in our school days and always had fun with him. I moved away for many years and lost track of him; but whenever I saw anyone from the old days, I would ask after him. Also, I would see Mark's daughter periodically once I moved back to town and would inquire about him. Well, last year one day I ran into Bill and had a little catchup. It was so nice seeing him, and now I'm even more glad...

Gonna miss you Dewey. Rest in peace, see ya on the other side ❤

Bill was one of the smartest, caring person I've ever known. He was a true friend and I will miss him so much. My heart felt thoughts and prayers extend to his son's and family.❤
