Not sure what to say?

Very fond memories of Bill from my time at Brown where I coached with him for 2 years. He showed me a lot of how to live as I was going through a rough time. He will be missed.

Bill was a great friend for me during a very difficult time of my life. He was there when I was in great need. He will be missed. But will be received with glory in heaven. See you when I get there Bill! Hold my place.

Very fond memories of Bill and reminders of the years I had with him. He was a blessing and will be missed. But he is in a better place and doubtlessly will be interceding for all those he loved.

Very fond memories of Bill from our years together, a long, long time ago. One day soon I will see him again. Dick Scoggins

Peter and I are saddened, Lafayette Football will never be the same for us, his players worked for me at my old club with his solid approval doing many odd jobs. Bill and I used to talk football all the time, i don't know how to get through this. prayers from allour Easton community to the family.
