Your family is wonderful! Bill was a great, strong and loving man. His sons certainly follow his example. Linda, you are always in our hearts and minds - if you ever need anything, we are here for you. Love to you all!

Helen, you, Loretta, and your whole family are in my heart and prayers. I'm so sorry I didn't see this until Wednesday. Helen, I remember hearing you talk about him at lunch sometimes and know how hard this is right now. I'm sure there is a special place in the "Irish Section" of heaven where he is right now having the time of his life. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,

To Linda and the family I offer my prayers of support and the consolation of our faith so that the days ahead will offer you Christ's peace. Bill was a grade school classmate at Lourdes, a friend and a fellow altar server. Kind, good natured, devoted to all his endeavors, Bill was genuine. God will easily recognize him at the gate of heaven. Father Noah (Joe) Casey.

Linda, Emily and I are shocked and saddened by Bills death. I worked closely with Bill for many years at AFNB and unfortunately as many of us moved on we lost contact. I am out of town and will not be able to come to his service but you and your family will be in our prayers. May God bless you and your family.

I can't believe he is gone. I worked with Bill for 15 years at American Fletcher, Bank One and now Chase. He was one of the nicest man at the Bank. He will be missed.
