Bill always had a smile on his face no matter what. He was a genuine and sweet person and I enjoyed knowing him. I'm deeply saddened by his passing. Prayers go out to his family.

Bill was a great man. I had the privilege of working with him at Camilla Hall for a few years before he retired. The only man I know that could talk about the Phillies 24/7. I'll miss bumping into him around Malvern. To Bill's family: He spoke so highly of you guys. So sorry for your loss.

Rest in peace Bill....

Bill was a great guy. He would always help me with the sports section of the Camilla Hall newsletter when he worked here, especially during baseball season. He will be missed. We are so sorry for your loss.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace and may the Passion of Christ strengthen his family and friends. Amen.
