Dear Sue, Sandy, Bryan and Bill's beloved grandchildren,
We have so many wonderful memories of time spent with you all as neighbors at Hawks Nest Beach and as dear friends of Bill and Sue. Bill so loved life; he and Sue embraced the arts, travel, and adventures with friends and family. We so admire the love and devotion they showed throughout this hard fought battle. Bill's thoughtfulness, intelligence and zest for life will be missed. Love and condolences from Sally and Dick Giglio

I had "Mr Monks" as a Teacher at Acrebrook Academy for a couple of years.... he taught more than his coursework, he taught respect, dignity, and a love of learning plus so much more. Sad to hear of the "good guys" passing. My respects......

Dear Sue!
Bill left a wonderful legacy here in Springfield. The two of you sure managed to see the world and enjoy life to it"s fullest. You did not miss much of the culture taking place in Springfield , only when you were travelling around the world!!! Bill sure was able to have a very full life. We will all miss him.....Fondly Susanne and Bob Osofsky

So sorry to hear about Bill. The world has lost a wonderful person we always admired. He will be missed by the whole community. Our condolences from Kherson, Ukraine.

I think of Bill and you often. He got me hooked on those licorices from England. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a great guy. I hope he made it to Ireland.
