Not sure what to say?

Thank you all for your kind remembrances and sympathy at the passing of my beloved husband and devoted father,Bill. We are broken hearted not to have him with us. Our treasured memories with him bring us some comfort as do your remembrances and tribute to him - we are very grateful to you all.

My condolences to the family. I just today learned of Bill's passing. So many stories rush in. All of which bring a smile. I hope in my travels I can see you all again to convey my condolences in person. Bill will forever be someone who changed my life. Just one of many who he touched, I am sure.

Our thoughts are with you all in this difficult time. We will remember with laughter and fondness those wonderful Thanksgivings!

Rest in peace, Bill. You were a poet, a scholar and a very humorous man. You were a mentor and generous person. To Kathie, Beth, Tina and Billy and the rest of the family, please accept my sincere condolences.

He was so fun, an amazing storyteller, he loved his family so fiercely, and was so kind while also being one of the toughest people around. He will be so missed! You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Bill lived his life in a complete way. I don't think there was a day that went by that he didn't give full thought to all that was happening in the news, in sports, in politics, and, mostly, in the lives of his family and friends.

He was also a bighearted man in every way, helping others when needed in whatever manner appropriate, including giving his time and attention to their requirements of the moment. And he always tried to add some fun to other's lives, be it supplying them...
