We worked at Christy´s Market on North Main St. in Attleboro in the 80s and remember Bill frequenting the store. He was always pleasant and easy to chat with. He spoke often of his work at the funeral home and his dogs. It´s wonderful to hear that he led an interesting and passionate life. We´re so sorry for your loss.

Jack and I cherish the conversations and laughs we had with Bill while walking the dogs on Elmwood Ave. He brought a new way to look at life and a smile to many. Rest peacefully Bill.
