Dearest Cousins,
I am so sorry to hear of Bill's death. My first memory of Bill is from about 1949 in the Oak Park Kenilworth (?) Ave. house. The door of a bathroom came ajar and there was Bill in the tub laughing and splashing , expressing such infectious joy that the image stayed with me all these years. He will be missed. Much love to you all...Mary Beth, Tom, Gay, Connie,Vin, Bob, Ned, Gerry, Honey,,Jim, Mimi , and John and , of course, Helen and Bill's many friends.

I am so sorry to hear of Bill's death; may he rest in peace. Bill was a great classmate at Fenwick and an accomplished actor. He starred in the Blackfriars' production of "My Three Angels" our senior year. Now he dances among them.
