Bill was my co-worker in CFS. He was a delight to be around each and every day. It wasn't nearly as much fun at work once he retired. What a joy he was! I still keep some of the poems that he wrote. What a wonderful sense of humor. My profound sympathy to his entire family.

Uncle Bill you are in our hearts forever and will never be forgotten. I will always remember when you played your accordian and Grandpa played the guitar. I can still hear the music. I can still hear your voice - a voice that made everyone feel so special. Laura, Pat, Ben & Brian - our hearts go out to each of you and we will keep you all in our prayers. Love, Babe & Ed

Uncle Bill was really a one-of-a-kind. I've never ever met anyone like him. He was always in such a good mood, always made you feel special when you talked to him. He had that infectious laugh, like my Dad. They were the kind of people you'd follow to the ends of the earth if they asked you. I will miss you Uncle Bill! I'm proud to be named after you!

Bill and I were co-workers at the USPS for many years - I remember him so well. His sense of humor and kindness to everyone were inspirations to all of us. Never once did I hear an unkind work from him, about anyone or anything. He made people feel good about themselves and their lives just by being himself. Bill was a rare gem of a human being and he will be very much missed by all of us who had the good fortune to know him. My sincere sympathies are with his family, today and always.

Bill was one of a kind person; very enjoyable. I worked with him at the Post Office and enjoyed the Italian deserts he brought in. I also enjoyed the various stories of his life that he would tell.
