You were such a good man Bill. You gave me so much support and comfort growing up. I was shocked and devastated to hear of your passing. I thought you would always be there for mom because you always seemed invincible and full of health, love and life. I wish I could have been there with you in the end, to say thank you for all that you did for me growing up. Rest easy now Bill, the only place for someone like you with your strong beliefs would have to include a piece of paradise. ...

I am so sorry to just find out about Bill's passing. Bill lived in Middletown when I was growing up. He was a great neighbor and very fun. I learned a lot from him in the few years I lived "across the street."
This is terribly sad. Jacqueline, I haven't seen you in many years, but my thoughts are certainly with you and your family.

My sincere condolences. Billy and I first met at Frostburg State running the mile for time on day one of football practice. We came in one and two, he was a QB and I was a receiver, we clicked right away and became great friends. We then roomed together for two years (he had a great stereo and all the latest records), we were also fraternity brothers. Billy was always smiling and happy. He was a wonderful person and good friend to all. RIP Billy Rose.

I remember Bill when he attended Maranatha Church . He was always smiling and fun. I'm praying for your comfort and peace in the knowledge that you will see him again in heaven with Jesus!

My condolences to Billy and his family. We wernt to college together at Frostburg and had many good times with the 'burg gang. That was a long time ago and our paths have only crossed once or twice since then. But I will always remember Billy as a fun-loving guy with a big heart and an even bigger smile. I am sorry I didn't hear of his passing unitl after the services. Please know that I keep you all in my prayers. Cheri Gaver Poklemba

Fond memories of a wonderful colleague who I was privileged to work with for some 10 years.
Am so sorry to have missed his service, but am sure he was well celebrated by those who knew him and loved him!
God bless Bill and his family.

To Jacqueline and your family,
I am so sorry for your loss and it pains me that you have to go through this. My father recently died and I won't say I know what your going through because everyone's grief is different.
Just know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I send my love to all.
