Dear Naomi:
So sorry to hear of the passing of Bill. He was always a great friend . From delivering Milk to us on Hartwell Road ( three bottles - six bottles ) to helping drive the school buses now and then when I could.

Bedford will "Never" be the 'same'!

Love,

Jim & Donna McGovern

Dear Naomi and family, It is with deep regret that we have learned this past week end of Willy's passing. I have known him for more than 60 years, having worked for him and his brother, Frank, when they owned Blue Ribbon Farm where the shopping center now stands. He worked hard for his family and enjoyed life. He was very proud to be a Veteran of World War II. He will certainly be in our thoughts and prayers, along with you and the family.

Mr. Bill was the best Boss anyone could have ever had. It has been the best experience of my life working for this wonderful man for the past 36 years. I regret not letting him know how great he was and how much I appreciated all he has done for me. I will miss him terribly. May he rest in peace.

Bill was a very special man, someone I first met when I went into the school bus business. He was inciteful, hard working and a credit to the industry. He established a well run well organized company that continues to flourish to this day. He was always proud that what he established continues on through his son, He will be gratly missed.
