Not sure what to say?

I was blessed to be a part of bills life by taking care of him at sunrise. I know we aren't supposed to say these things but he was my favorite resident :) I loved just hanging in his room while he played oh Suzanna for me on his harmonica over and over. He will and already is deeply missed by me and everyone here at sunrise. Thank you for sharing him with me.

Uncle Bill was always upbeat and positive. Our thoughts and prayers will be with the Hickey family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Bill while working at Sunrise. My condolenses go out to his Family. I will always remember watching baseball with Bill and listening to him play his harmonica. He will be greatly missed.

To Mike and the entire Hickey Family,

Please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of your Father- William...you are in my thoughts and prayers..

So sorry to hear of your loss which is Bill's gain. Bill was a great mentor who taught me many things while I worked for him at Ace Hardware that I still use to this day. I was honored to have been called his friend and to have been able to stay in touch with him all these years. He will be missed but I have many good memories to enjoy.

God's Peace,
Greg Johnson

Uncle Bill & Aunt Eileen are dancing together again. He was such a great guy, uncle and Godfather. He will always be lovingly remembered.

I saw "Billy-Blue Eyes" often when I visited my parents at Sunrise. He and my dog were good buddies. I am saddened at his passing and will miss him very much.
