Dearest Sue,
We are so sorry to learn Bill passed away. Bill, Pete, you and I shared many home dinners in our haunted houses and laughs at your Yankee Swaps. Bill and Pete shared Boston Artcc, FAA, 81 strike rehire and air traffic control in the middle east. As Bill would say, "its either 6 of one or 1/2 dozen of the other!"
From Christopher Robin : "If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you."
God Bless, Jeanne and Pete Caruso

It was always nice to see Bill and Sue around town driving in their British convertible. This photo was taken in 2007 when Obama came to Peterborough. Bill will be missed.
