Dear Bill,
Please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of your dear dad.
Today September 25th I just checked in with the Schenectady Gazette obituaries which I do about once a week or so and I just saw the obituary about your dad. I actually remember him, he dropped you off and picked you up at the Drummers Workshop for guitar lessons a few times, I remember he drove a pickup truck and he always wore a cap - I recognized him from the photo in the obituary.
Write me anytime Bill, I'd like to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Mark Luce

Dear Diane, Billy, Patrick and all of the Dolan family. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. There are no words that can take away your pain but may it bring you comfort knowing Bill is now at peace and enjoying his eternal reward in Heaven. He has been reunited with his family and friends who went before him and I'm sure the Jameson and Guinness are flowing at the grand hooley! Bill was a special friend to me for almost sixty years and the best Uncle to my children, Patty and Mike Sharer. "Until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of His hand."
Love you Bill,
Liz
