Not sure what to say?

Thinking of devoted union-man Bill Opalka on Labor Day. A fine man.

On this, the third anniversary of Bill´s passing, I stop to reflect on the very pleasant years I spent as his immediate neighbor. I often think back on his kind manner and good humor when we exchanged greetings as we came and went. My best wishes go to his daughters, Linda and Nancy. Rest In peace.

We lost Bill two years ago this month and, of course, we continue to miss him for his warmth, good humor, and kindness. Best wishes to his surviving daughters, Linda and Nancy.

On the first anniversary of Bill’s untimely death, I pause to fondly recall his energy, kindness and warmth. As his neighbor of 5 1/2 years, I miss him, as do his devoted daughters and his many friends.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I was delighted to be Bills immediate neighbor for the final 5 1/2 years of his life. He was unfailingly warm, cordial and friendly, and I thoroughly enjoyed exchanging pleasantries with him each day. My heartfelt sympathies go to his beloved daughters, Linda and Nancy.

We will forever cherish our memories of Bill and Lottie. They were a very special couple and wonderful friends and neighbors to my folks and us. We were so very sad to receive the news of Bill's passing and we pray that you have peace in the knowledge that he is reunited with your mom and Billie.

Please accept our deepest sympathies at this time.
