Dear Betty, Cynthia, Sherri, Kim, and all of your spouses, great grandchildren , grandchildren, and children
My thoughts are with you all of you. I will never forget the generosity and kindness of Bill and Betty and the chance to spend some delightful times at your Rhode Island cottage. Reading his obituary, I thought how much he was like Aunt Shirley in terms of being an involved and caring citizen. I don't know where they found all of their energy. Love, Christie Reardon

I feel truly blessed to have Uncle Bill in my life. He was always there to ask how things were going, to offer advice or some of his wisdom, and of course to have fun with us 'kids'. His smile was infectious, and his love of people true. Lord, please now welcome Uncle Bill into Heaven, and comfort those he left behind, until we meet again. Amen. Love, Mark
