William Perry Sumas

While being best friends with his cousin, Nick Saitas, I first met Billy as a preteen. I remember in later years when they had a local baseball team which Billy played on, along with his cousins He was on 1st base as I recall. I remember staying at Perry and Nick's house down the shore with Billy and the family and trying to water sky with Billy running the boat. I have a lot of good memories of Billy and his family and my deepest sympathy to John, Linda and Patricia and the rest of his...

On behalf of my father Walter Kilkenny, who passed away in 2002, I would like to send my condolences to the Sumas family. My father knew Mr. Sumas in business and always spoke highly of him. Cliff Kilkenny

He was always so nice to me and admired by many. Miriam Heyman. So sad to hear. Another painful reminder to make every day count. Hal...

I´m sorry to hear of Billy´s passing. We spent time playing stickball and other sports while growing up in South Orange. He was a good athlete and had a great sense of humor. I´m glad I crossed paths with him in my life. Billy always had a great work ethic, so I wasn´t surprised at his business success. He was one of life´s good guys. My condolences to his family, co workers, and many friends. Rest easy Billy
