WILLIAM S. O'CONNELL

He was always "Billy" to me. I remember him when he visited the Guidetti's. We were all kids then,

A great memory...Bill and I at our first radio job, WBET in Brocton..broadcasting all night..."New Year's Eve with Tom and Bill"...an all request show with our hard working wives seeking out and handing us the records. That was 1954..Bill and I worked together frequently over the years..and laughed over that show a thousand times...He was a great guy and a pleasure to be with....our thoughts are with his wonderful family. Neil and Ruth MacNevin (Tom Evans)

A great and distant memory...Bill and I at our first radio station, WBET, Brocton.."New Years Eve with Tom and Bill"..We took requests and broadcast all night as our wives searched out and handed us the records.. Whenever I met with Bill after that we would laugh and reminisce about it. That...was New Years 1954. I worked with Bill many times over the years... A lot of memories of a wonderful guy.

Sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I met him on Circuit Ave.on the Vineyard in the 1980's. He was a great guy who was very down to earth. My prayers go out to the family.

Regards,

A former Duxbury neighbor and recent neighbor in Pine Lakes, here in N. Fort Myers. We had a good time playing Bocce. Our best to your family.

As kids, we loved your record room and the love beads hanging from the ceiling in the Framingham house. Always smiling, taking pictures and being cool. We'll miss you and your sense of humor. Love, Janice Herget King

To the O'connell family sorry about the loss of bill.watch bill doing sports on channel 56 in Boston for years. He is going to be missed in the Boston sports community rich cerasale

I grew up in Boston, and vividly remember Bill as a sportscaster on the Boston channels 5,7 and 56. Upon retiring in Pine Lakes, I was surprised to see Bill, as he was immediately recognizible. I will miss talking to him in the mornings while he was walking Sadie (from his golf cart). He will be missed dearly in Pine Lakes. Bob & Karen Konetzny
