Hi Mary: its martin mccarthy of albany/colonie ny. I ve just come accross by accident news of Bill's passing. I m so sorry I did nt keep in touch. I still have the last note he sent me. I ve thought of him often. I cherish the times i spent with him long ago. My friend Bill crabill asked about him mant times.

Remembering the many years we shared working together at AMEX and the friendship we shared with Joe and Flo. Sending love and condolences to your wife, Mary and family. May you Rest In Peace. Ron and Judy Murphy

Goodbye, Bill. We were friends many moons ago and I just heard of your passing. You were one of the sweetest guys to ever work at AMEX. You will always be remembered fondly by your friends from AMEX, even the ones who left a long time ago or who worked in travel and not card division. Rest in peace.

I was blessed to have known Bill from our days as teammates on the BC football ball team. He was an extraordinary athlete with incredible determination. He was also a gentleman in every sense. RIP my friend.

Bill was a classmate you would remember. An athlete who made us proud...a gentleman...and a gentle man. A loyal alumnus may he rest in peace . Our prayers go out to you, Mary and all who loved him. Our most sincere condolences.

As a classmate at Archie´s, I remember Bill as a "gentle giant" and a fabulous football player. Please accept my sincere sympathy at your loss. My prayers are with you.

Bill was so liked and respected by his AWHS classmates. My condolences to his wife on the loss of this fine man.

A great athlete and better friend. He was one of the AWHS "running guards" when he wasn´t playing fullback. At BC as a nose tackle he destroyed the center of the opponent´s line. He never quit on a play until the whistle blew. Just a great classmate and friend.

Bill will always be remembered for his warm smile, his sincerity, his quiet demeanor and for always being a true gentleman ! Bill was also what we think of as a 3-F man. FAMILY, FAITH AND FRIENDS were of prime importance in his life. Bill will be missed by all who were lucky enough to have crossed his path. God Bless you, Bill. I pray that it will not be long before the sadness your family is feeling now will turn to loving memories.
