Hard to believe its been 10 years since Bill passed. His name comes up often with our customers. Bill had a great career in the plastics industry and had many friends, including myself that often think about him. He was a great person/friend/coworker and is still thought of and missed in 2025. Sure would love to know how Laura is doing if anyone knows.

I was shattered to hear of My Dear Uncle Bill's passing, you have no idea how much you will be missed. You were my godfather, honorary uncle & friend. You introduced me to your sailboat "Pegasus", and showed me the wonderful world of sailing. You will always be a part of our extended family. I will always strive to be more like you, your kindness and gentle soul are quite admirable traits. You were truly a gentleman. Thank you for being a part of my life. I love you. Jacquelyn Ingold Lee

I am very sad to have learn of Bill's passing. We worked together for many years. For those who knew Bill in our industry, Bill was a warm caring and soft spoken man who loved his wife, job and sailing. Bill will be surely missed. May he rest in peace in Gods arms. My condolences to Laura and his family. Mike Budd

Whenever I think of Bill, I cannot help but smile because, so often, he was smiling, laughing, joking with us. Favorite jokes, which he would always retell if you asked, were the one about the guy selling peanuts (his nuts were too high) where Bill would change his voice, and little foo foo rabbit. What a great friend Bill was to Tony and I!!! I have so many fond memories about sailing, corn roasts, and all the rest. I will miss this kind and gentle man. Laura, my thoughts are with you.

My condolences on the passing of Bill. We were fortunate to have him as a classmate at St.Dominic's and at Calvert Hall. May he rest in peace.

I remember going to that birthday party, too. I also enjoyed going over to Billy's house playing in the park that was very close to the house. Billy's family also knew a neighbor down the street whose backyard backed up onto the park. The neat thing was the neighbor had a fenced in swimming pool and he invited us in to swim many times during the summer. Great Times, thanks to being Billy's friend! Also, Billy's Dad coached me in Little League Baseball one or two years. Brought me in from the outfield and put me at third base. Great Family!! Billy, may you rest in peace and may your family take comfort in their time of grief of what you meant to your boyhood friends. Sorry, I lost touch with many of my Baltimore boyhood friends after I left Baltimore in 1965.

I remember a few of us celebrating our 12th birthday in February 1959 at a party in Bill's basement over by Burdock Park. We had recently reconnected on FB but I hadn't seen him in years. I am sure he'll be missed by all who knew him.
