So sorry to find out about Bill’s passing. Peg and Bill were so influential in my life and I will always have fond memories of working at The Hollow. They treated me like part of their family and I will forever be grateful for having them in my life.

Meg and Dari, so sorry about the loss of your dad! I remember your folks from when we were kids, and my mom actually had a really good and long friendship with them over the years. She was sad when they moved to Vermont, but she visited them a few times at the Inn and kept in contact for a long time. Its a little strange that I lost my mom within about a month from you losing your dad. Right now the memories are so fresh and raw, but I get comfort from knowing theyre in a better place reunited with spouse, family and friends! Try to take it one day at a time. Teal Friedmann King

Bill sold us our home in Eastman when he and Peg had the All Seasons Real Estate company. His daughter Meg designed my husband's music studio. Bill had a wonderful personality. He was generous, and caring and a loving friend to everyone. I knew of his many volunteer efforts and I always admired him and I loved running into him after he and Peg moved to New London. My deepest sympathy to his family for their great loss. He was one of a kind and will be remembered by many for his kindness.

Very sorry to hear. I remember Bill from years ago selling real estate. A gentleman with a big heart.

We are saddened to hear of Bills passing, but know to everything there is a season. Bill and Peg were members of Tracy Library. Almost immediately Bill became a steadfast volunteer making monthly Homebound book deliveries to those in need around New London. He devised a delivery worksheet that is used to this day and has been invaluable to both the circulation desk and the deliverers. He is thought about so often by those of us us were fortunate enough to know him. His smile, warmth and kindnesses will be remembered. May you Rest In Peace.
