Not sure what to say?

I met Bill close to 40 years ago through a mutual friend Judy Weber. Through the years Bill and I shared our love for baseball, especially the Phillies. We would talk baseball, books , and his travel adventures throughout the year. Several times Bill treated me to a Phillies game in his great seats right behind the Phillies dugout. We often met up at Alexander's restaurant for a drink and to catch up with one another. Bill would also just give me a call to talk baseball or about swapping...

Had many great times with Bill, Worked hard and played hard with him in my younger days,he will be truly missed,rip BILLY.

I was on a flight to San Francisco sometime in 1990 or 1991. The fellow sitting next to me asked me why I was heading to the "City by the Bay."

RiP Bill. We lost touch years ago, but will remember many happy times we spent with Bill in the 80´s. He was always so generous and hosted many fun BBQ´s at his house. We will always remember Bill with a smile on his face. Our deepest sympathies to Bill´s family and friends.

Bill and I were close friends as kids, thru 8th grade at St Ambrose. As life happens, Bill and his family moved from Feltonville in Olney towards Cheltenham, and we each went in differing paths. The circle of life is amazing as our paths again finally crossed again and we met up a few years back, re connected and it felt like we didn't miss a beat. We are now heartbroken and send our love and deepest condolonces to Bills family. You will be sorely missed my friend. Our love, Bob and Karen Midiri

I am so sorry to hear about this. We have so many memories over the last 60 years going all the way back to gradeschool. Billy was even in a wedding of mine. He was a great friend and will be truly missed. May he R.I.P. My prayers and thoughts go out to his entire family.

Bill was a very good person. Wonderful faithful friend. He was very thoughtful and excellent landscaper. We will miss him. .love .prayers and sympathy. Kirsten and Rose Ranson and. "Mike" too
