My deepest condolences to the family. Bill was such a nice and caring person and I'm sure that he will be missed.

I worked with Bill during my 31 years at Harvard as an electrician and you couldn't ask for a more helpful and thoughtful person than Bill.

Regretfully I will not be able to attend the services but be sure that my thoughts and prayers will be there.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Michael Sullivan
