Not sure what to say?

Wonderful human being. Bright, funny and highly quotable. Whenever he comes to mind, which is often, he brings us a smile.

Nan,
As a neighbor, I used to see you and Bill strolling by, the picture of the ideal couple. The conversations we used to have at Au Bon Pain, and when you both would wander into my store, still are in my memory. And that's where Bill will live on, in the minds of many in Cambridge who came to know and admire him and his work.

Dear Nan,

My sisters-- Shahri, Leigh, and I were so sorry to learn from Aunt Jane of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We remember Bill fondly, and always seeing the two of you in the little sports car.

Sincerely,
Cynthia A. Griffin (Greta Gill's grand-daughters)

Dear Uncle William,
It is still a shock to me that you are gone physically. My only regret is that I didn't get to see you before you made your transition into the spiritual realm. But know that you were truly loved and admired. You will always be an integral part of my life. Someone that I will cherish forever. Rest in peace!!!!
Your Beloved Niece,
Dori

Dear Brother,

Your Beloved Sister,
Billie

A truly wonderful human being and a truly special friend. He enriched my life immeasurably, and will always be remembered with love and gratitude.
