Sitting at work and Bruce Springsteen started playing. I think my brother Jonathan and I are two of the few people still alive with positive memories of Bill. I think he'd be glad to see how things worked out for us. No one is perfect, but Bill did his best.

Bill will be very missed.... He touched the hearts and souls of many people at Cape Heritage. He will be in our thoughts and prayers as will Ed and the rest of his loving family.

With many thoughts of the good times at 64 Richard RD and 9 O ST with little Elisa, drives to Florida and NH, and on the hot slate roof at Carruth Street, we'll miss you, Bill.

I am very sorry for your loss. I remember Bill from when I lived across the street from him on "O" Street years ago. He was such a nice person and will be remembered fondly.

We are very sad to hear of Billy's passing. Billy was a great man with a very big heart. Over the many years we knew him we were able to witness first hand his humble generosity; he helped many individuals as well as multiple families. We will always remember and cherish our summer trips to Water Country when our children were younger, squeezing into his maroon convertible! Ted will always remember, use and appreciate the roofing skills that Billy taught him over the years.
Our prayers and thoughts are with the entire Santry family.

The Muir Family; Ted, Kellie, Teddy & Teala
