My heart felt condolences to you Mrs. Oates and your family!I too will miss him. I will especially miss our political debates and our differences on what routes to take into Logan Airport.

Dear Muffy,
Although we have not seen each other much in recent years, I have often thought of the two of you. It was sad to see your husband's name on the board at The Country Club. Many hugs for you and your family - spread out over these difficult days and adjustments.

Dear Muffy and family,
I was very sad to hear this news of Billy. I know he was a wonderful fellow and loved you all to bits. My fondest memories are of sitting next to him at one of Duncan's glam birthday celebrations in Boston. So much fun, so full of energy!
My sincerest condolences,
