My Grandfather was a business man. He was a sucessful entrepreneur. The last ten years my family and I spent with him were the best. He loved his family and loved life. May he soar with the angels in heaven and I know he is having the time of his life now. We will miss you Papa bill. What is dead may never die. See you when my time comes .

My friend Jack and Family, I will always remember your Dad for his kindness, friendship and wonderful sense of humor. He always showed a lot of concern for those around him and this was one of his best traits. He loved people and it showed. I will miss him greatly, but will always find inspiration when I think of him as we all will. God bless you. Barry
