William M. Russell

It was an honor to meet Bill, He was a kind gentleman with lots of stories to tell. I only knew him for a few months but enjoyed speaking with him. God Bless Bill and his family.

I was Bill's"welcome lady" at Southgate, as well as part of his water aerobics group. A very nice gentleman.

I always loved seeing Uncle Bill, I have so many memories of him in my heart. He was a constant in my moms life after the passing of his wife, my moms sister Aunt Shirley. He always checked in on her and I am so grateful for that. He wi surely be missed

I have fond memories of working with Bill for over 20 years! He was an amazing and brilliant man!
My condolences to his family and friends.

To Barbara and all of Bill's family, I'm so very sorry to hear this news. While I never met Bill, I've heard so many wonderful stories about him. This was a beautifully written tribute to him and his legacy. May you find comfort and peace in the days ahead and laugh and smile when reflecting on stories and memories of him. God Bless you all.

Uncle Bill was an inspiration to me and a good friend to my mother.

Bill and Family:
Your Dad Bill was a wonderful neighbor who I so enjoyed talking to over the years when he lived on Jackson Street in Belchertown. A man you could tell loved living in Belchertown who also loved his country. When I told him my daughter joined the Air Force he beamed with pride because he also served his country in the AF telling me stories of his own experience. He is finally with your Mother, the love of his life Shirley, also a sweet & loving person. Please remember...

Uncle Bill I will miss you !! Sorry for your loss Billy , Barb , and Rosanne

I did not have the honor of meeting or knowing William. This beautifully written obituary truly makes me wish I had. Luckily I have the privilege of knowing his son Bill. I express my deepest condolences to Bill and his family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
