Sherry - First, my heartfelt condolences. I don’t know if you will remember me, but we met shortly after you and Bill were married, maybe the early 1970’s, when I visited your home. I first met Bill when we moved to Topsfield from Danvers in May of 1959 and into a house across the street from Bill, Cindy and Chuck and Bonnie, their beloved collie (I can still visualize her coming across the street for our leftover steak). Although a year younger than Bill, he became my best friend until they moved to Kennebunkport. I can recall riding bikes, playing marbles, fishing in the woods along Pye Brook, catching frogs behind my house and even playing jump rope with Cindy. We stayed in touch for a while and he even tried to teach me to surf once in the “warm” Maine surf, such as it was. I still have many fond memories of those carefree days and think about them and Bill often. I am saddened by your family’s loss as Bill was a wonderful friend to a ‘newcomer’ to his neighborhood. I know he’s in a better place and I know I will still keep him in my memories.
