Not sure what to say?

I miss Bill and I could say so much more about how I admired and respected him. I do miss him.

My apologies for the late post as I just learned of his passing after attending festival of trees. I was saddened to hear of his passing and thought back to some projects we worked on together. We spent a few days putting up the fence around the original town hall foundation located at the entrance to municipal center, as well as working on Sherburne Hall renovation, several committees etc.. Bill always listened and responded in a calming soft tone. I think we rode the opposite side of a...

Dear Joyce, children, extended family. I was heartbroken to hear about Bill's passing. He was always so helpful when I had a question about town issues and just talking in general about the forest and his trains. I will miss him at Christmas when he sets up his train set.

My sincere condolences to the entire McDevitt family. I had the pleasure of commuting to Boston with Bill for a number of years back in the seventies before transferring to Pennsylvania in1981. Bill was a wonderful person and will clearly be greatly missed by many. RIP, me friend.

It was an honor to know and work with Bill on various town boards. He will leave a long and lasting legacy. May he Rest In Peace. Deepest sympathies to Joyce and family .

His passing leaves the Earth with one less kind person at a time when we need as many kind people as we can find. God Bless Bill and may his family feel God’s...
