My mother told stories full of joy and adventure about her two beloved younger brothers Bill and Bob. I remember most clearly how Uncle Bill and my mother picked blueberries in the Scranton hills, among the laurel bushes and rattlesnakes, and sold them door-to-door to contribute to the family income during the Great Depression. She had bragged the she and Bill, even as children, earned the day wages of a Scranton factory worker at the time. I will hold dear in my heart memories of visits in...

The best way to describe Bill is what Steve always said, "Bill is a GEM!" And a rare one at that! We miss you Bill but know that you are in a better place! Until we meet again!

Bill helped open a whole new underwater world for many including myself. He will be missed. Thanks buddy for your tremendous devotion.

Solong Dear Uncle Bill,
It seems you would appear through different stages in my life, childhood, teens, motherhood and through the sad times of loss. Each and every time you left an impact on me of a very kind and gentle heart that resembled my very own Dearest Dad. I can say that you were two of a kind. Solong, Till we meet again.

RIP Bill, our diving community will not be the same without you...xoxoxo

I truly miss my uncle Bill. He was a great man and the last of his generation. I feel fortunate to have been able spend a little time with him recently. I am very thankful for Steve and Melinda who took such great care of him the last few years.

Farewell my friend - You were such a careing and warm person to know - you positively influenced so many lives! Rest in peace.

Bill was such a great man and touched the lives of so many of us. He was always there to help a friend and teach us something new! God Bless!
