TO THE MORRISON FAMILY,
Iam truly sorry for your loss and pain.
Bill and I were hired at the same time at Neighborhood Diabetes. He was truly a friend and mentor to me. We used to spend many a times at the parking area of Neighborhood and laughed at some of life's misadventure's. My life was made greater for knowing him and I will miss him and his amazing smile and sense of humor.

Goodbye Bill I will always hold you in my heart and prayers.

We met Bill in the summer of 1970 after he had just returned from Vietnam. There began a relationship which spanned 46 years. He was our best friend. He was the best man at our wedding. He was gracious, charming and always good listener. We could always be ourselves with him.

It was a wonderful relationship which will never be repeated. Our love has been extended to Julie, her boys and their families.

We will miss our best buddy always. A void which will never be filled. Bill was taken much too early. Rest in peace Fella.

I am sorry about your loss.
I worked with Bill at neighborhood and it was so nice to meet him , always helping me when i needed. One memory that always stands out is how he would always say "I beg your pardon" ... he was always a gentleman.

Bill and I worked together at Neighborhood Diabetes and when ND was located in Wakefield, we often went to lunch together at Brothers Deli. My condolences to whole family. He was a great person and I was happy to have a chance to get to know him. He was very humble about all that he accomplished.

I first met Bill at the Sacred Heart grammar school in Roslindale, MA. In spite of the fact that I moved to the West Coast in 1977, we have been best friends since 1958. My condolences go to his wife Julie and his four sons. The world is a different place today without Bill.
