My sincere condolences to the Leary family. Very sad to hear of Bill's passing, way to soon. Bill's passing has stirred my memory of the great times we had in High School. Bill and I were linked to the success of Ketcham football for four years (1974-1977). Bill and I were fortunate to start varsity our sophomore year and were inseparable for 3 years as the Center and Quarterback. Bill's brother Jim joined us our senior year as a receiver and linebacker. I have replayed many of those...

There are no words to express my deepest condolences to the beautiful Leary family, Mrs Leary, Jim & Rich. My heart broke when I heard of the passing of our truly loved bubby. This wonderful, kind, loving, loyal man has left us to join the angels, to join his father, brother and his dog Raider. May he continue to protect and love you all from an area that we can not see, but only imagine that it must be perfect. To know Bill, was to absolutely love him. He was honestly the most wonderful...

I met Bill in the 80's when he worked the door at "Berties". I would always buy him a beer when I showed up, sit and talk to him for awhile, and then go in to spend my evening. I didn't see him for a number of years afterward. I then started to see him just about every St Patrick's Day at Mahoneys. He would always buy me a beer telling me how appreciative he was of me buying him one in those earlier years. He was a good man. I always appreciated him and I will certainly miss him.
