Not sure what to say?





I was so sorry to hear about your families loss. I was fortunate to have known him and saw what a wonderful husband and father he was. My sincere sympathies to all of you during this very difficult time.

Dorothy, our sympathies are not enough to give to you. My daughter was home sick from the school the day of the funeral. My father said it was beautiful and so many people showed. I am going to visit you some time again when things are not as hectic for you. I know my mother loved you and Bill a lot and now I am sure she is maybe having a nice talk with him. Not only has he been a great friend of the family, but I have a special place in my heart for him since we had much in common in regard to physical activities before he became sick. I thought of him so often for the past few years and prayed for him every day. I am so happy I had a chance to see him a few times in the past few years. God works in mysterious ways. As a matter of fact, that morning before my father called me to tell me about Bill-- I had said a prayer for him and mentioned his name out loud in the car as I was driving. How about that? I could not get over that. I know he is now a soul to intercede for all of us here on earth. I said to Desmond last time I saw him that he never lost his smile with what he has been through. God bless and talk to you soon. PS..I cannot find your address although I know your house. I have something to send you. If there is anyone who can give me that address, my email is [email protected]. Thank You.

Dear Dorothy, I am deeply saddened by the loss of Bill. May you find comfort in knowing he was loved and revered by many. Our family has many fond memories of Bill, you and the boys growing up next door. Bill took me to the Wissahickon skating rink, my first time out :) He will be forever remembered as a wonderful father, husband, friend, and esteemed counsel. Love, Lorraine DiJohn Pecora and family

Dottie & Family,

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband Bill. He was and will alway be a great man. I remeber as a child he saved my life in my parents pool when my life perserver broke. He jumped in and scooped me up out of the water. I have neve forgotten that.
Our families had a great time together on many a hiking trips, as well as coming over swimming in our pool. These are the things that I will treasure most about Bill.

With Love,

Ann Hill

Sorry for your loss and the world's loss. Uncle Bill was a good and generous person. All my memories of him are very happy and special. I always looked up to him and that is not because of his height. I always viewed him as a role model. Hopefully you will find great peace and happiness in your memories. You are in the family's thoughts and prayers. I pray God will give Aunt Dot the strength that she will need.She is fortunate to have such supportive son's and extended family. Love and prayers, Peggy, John and family
