William N. "Bill" Stears

Hi Daddy! I cannot believe it´s been 2 years since you passed. Grateful you´re no longer in pain. I do miss being able to pick up the phone and chat with you about your day or mine! Please tell Mom I miss you both. Tell Gramps I had a couple things I needed help on. Love, Barb

Hey Daddy, I cannot believe You have been gone for almost 3 years now. I miss our chats and talking about Mom and Sarah. Checking in with you was always nice, because you would tell me about a submarine that went up the river or down. I miss You and Mom so much. Keep watching over us and I'll keep you both in my prayers! Love, Barbie and Sarah

My heart goes out to family and friends on the death of my uncle Billy. My uncle was a handsome guy so much that some would mistake him for my dad John, his brother. He and his siblings were all gifted with great looks and big hearts. It was never a dull party at our family get togethers. Uncle Billy may you Rest In Peace and forever be lifted up by the love of those gone on before you and those who be longing to see you again. Your loving niece, Karen Ranney

I want to share one many family get togethers which included my Uncle Billy; my parents 50th wedding anniversary. I recall many family get togethers that included my Uncle Billy. He was an important part of a strong family of Stears who cared for each other. Uncle Billy may you Rest In Peace with family and friends who have gone on before you. I pray we will meet again in the house of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Your Loving niece, Karen Ranney (Stears)

Grief is difficult, but memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. John & Molly Tripp xo

I am saddened by the loss of my uncle and send my condolences to the family. I'll cherish the memories I have of him, especially confusing him for my dad when I was little. Sending you big hugs uncle Billy!!

RIP uncle Billy. Will always remember the Stears picnics, many at my mom and dad´s house in Enfield. Uncle Billy would drive his "Hot Rod" truck there with the fresh corn for all. I´ll always remember how close Billy and my dad, John Stears looked alight.

To Barbie and all the family. Ed and I were neighbors from across the street in south Windsor. We have many fond memories of your mom and dad. Always a smile and wave as they were always driving down Maskel Road. May they rest in peace together again.

Daddy, it's hard to believe both you and mom are gone now. I'm glad I was able to spend that extra time with you in your final weeks. I'll always remember and appreciate your last words to me. Be at Peace... Rest in Peace... Your daughter, Billie-Jo
