It is the end of an era. We will always remember Bill's Sunday donut visits when we would be getting ready for one of our Sunday Rides. Steve always loved discussing/debating PA and Phila. politics with Bill. Bill was always a gentleman no matter what the debate and an animal lover like the rest of us. Always remember those great memories and great times. He is at peace now and with his Lucy. We all will miss him.
Love

Patsy,
We're so sorry to hear of your loss. Know in your hearts that he is in a better place with Lucy. Bill was a major influence in the old neighborhood & a clear, sober voice in Harrisburg for Temple University & Health System. He will be missed.
Sadly,
Brian & Teresa Clay
