A great guy lived next door on Chapel St. Many great memories playing on the pond or in his quirky man made pool on edge of said pond. My prayers and condolences from the Mannings. Love Joe Manning

Sorry to hear about Bill's passing he was my first snap on dealer when I got into the automotive trade at quirk chevrolet in the Weymouth landing 42 years ago. Always looked forward to a story about his weekend riding dirt bikes. He was a good man. And well liked in the automotive industry over the years if snap on was mentioned so was bill's name. Again sorry for your loss.

One of the best riders ever!
Ride On, Billy!
