We were very fortunate to meet Bill this past April. When we extended a hand for a handshake he ignored it and said, "You're going to get a hug. I'm Italian". Ha! He was so easy and enjoyable to be around. We're so thankful we were able to convey our appreciation for the time, support, and friendship he has given our son. We have thought about Bill and his family often these past few days after hearing of his passing. Our sincere condolences.

Our deepest condolences to Bill's family. Bill was a wonderful man full of warmth, joviality, and depth. Yesterday evening I stopped what I was doing when the most beautiful sunset appeared, one that I have not seen this spring. It reminded me of watching them with him and our friends off the Ocean Drive. His excitement combined with his roar of laughter was instantly memorable. He was a man with integrity, morality, thoughtfulness, and compassion. Lou and I will miss him. I would like to add...

Although I've only known Bill for a few years, he has been the best neighbor I've ever had and I am grateful to have called him my friend. I always looked forward to a warm greeting from him in our driveway where we compared notes on weekend plans while he washed the Corvette. At a moment's notice he was there to help with a space heater or a kind word. His positive attitude, spontaneity, and ability to find the humor in any situation made him beyond compare. I'll miss joining him for a Bud...
