Andrea (and Family), my condolences. It is obvious he lived a wonderful life as he had a wonderful daughter like you, Andrea, and your wonderful sisters.

I offer my deepest sympathy to all of my old friends in the McManus family. I knew him as Willie, of course, as we all grew up in Glen Head. A great sense of humor is my strongest memory of him. I'm sure he's with his wonderful father, and I encourage everyone to keep talking to him. He'll help you, as my father and brother, Pat, help me.

I did not know William, but from what I have learned about him, he had passion for life. His legacy is alive in his daughter Andrea whose strength and love of life are an inspiration. My deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved William.

To my big brother and Godfather Will. I will hold dear many great memories of you, sailing in Sea Cliff, Knickerbocker playoff games, and driving around with you in that old Volvo. You were a great story teller and had the gift of gab. I love you Will, and I will miss you dearly. I pray daily for you and your family. Peace big brother.
