Bill was an awesome guy , met him
about 40 years ago. I knew of the Tessing family years before that but met Bill at Platzs in the Poconos by chance. He remained a good friend of all at Platzs and myself over the years, great guy with a gift of gab!
God Bless all the Tessing family and so sorry for your loss. He will be missed by many.

Bill Tessing was the kind of neighbor than anyone would be proud to know. I have known Bill Tessing since the day they moved in. I just remember every time that the ambulance would come to my home that he would be there to make sure that everything went okay. He will truly be missed in the neighborhood because of what a good person he was.
