We have such fond memories of Bill and Renée´s lovely wedding at Egner Memorial Chapel on the Muhlenberg College Campus on a snowy day in January.
After our 50th high school reunion a few year later, the Savacool´s invited us to their Blue Heron cabin and we got to see the community that meant so much to Bill in all its Autumn glory.
Mourning the loss of a fine man,
Ruthie and Jim Lahiff

Savacoll Family, I am very sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of going to the cabin at blue heron. Fishing and catching perch with my father filling stringers!!! Snowmobiling, and is fishing. As a young boy I remember Bill taking me behind the garage and feeding the deer and even some eating out of my hand. He was a great guy and always so excited to see us.

You have made your final march down the lonely dusty trail. You are now relieved from your post. A job well done fellow veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. The final battle is now over and peace has been restored. The final bugle has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell fellow veteran. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.
