Not sure what to say?

I worked for Bill for a time on the Design Floor at EB prior to the widespread use of computers, when longboards, pencils, Mylar and Vellum were the order of the day. Bill was a good boss, knowledgeable and fair, with a good sense of humor. He lived not far from me. After his retirement I saw him out on his motorcycle many a time. RIP Bill.

Bill was a wonderful friend and mentor. We can't believe there will be no more lively conversations with him. He is so missed.

The Dwyer's were great nieghboor's to grow up with. Many fond memories of you all. Bill lived life to its fullest! Thinking of you Debbie and Bill Jr. Sincerly, Michelle Zrakas

Bill was the Best Neighbor one could have ! His friendly smile, his enthusiasm about our neighborhood and his knowledge of the town was always welcomed. I am still in awe when I think about his life on the motorcycle, life on the boat and him on the ladder when he was well into his 80's and early 90s. He loved his flowers and newspaper as well. They brought him joy! We will miss him here for sure. Condolences to all of his family. Cheryl Smith~ neighbor

To Bill's Family & Friends, Without a doubt, Bill was one of those characters you bump up against in life and realize if you didn't get to know him, you missed out on something. Bill had a great passion for life and people. Great conversationalist and great sense of humor. It was an honor to have called him a friend.

JUST talking with an EB coworker \ fellow motorcyclist about "Wild Bill" and his Goldwing, which had a big stuffed monkey strapped to it!. I miss the days when guys like him were promoted to design supervision at EB based on many years of proven competence. May you rest in peace Bill.

... Wow,,, Such A Great Person,,, I Was So Lucky To Have Known Him,, He Actually Did "Light Up" A Room When He Walked In ,, No Matter How Bad A Day You Where Having ,, Everybody Smiled,, ...

I'm so sorry to hear of Bill's death. I served with him on the Planning Commission as well as a couple sub-committees over the years. He was even-handed and fair with his decisions. He was a GREAT American who believed in public service and hard work, with some fun mixed in. He was and is an inspiration and example for all. He had a life well-lived.

May his memory be eternal
