Our condolences to his wife Alice and my cousins. Bill was married to my mother's sister. In this picture is my father Frank Noti, my cousin Adnan Azar and Uncle Bill. His family and my father's side of the family go way back. Although my father and Bill lost touch throughout the years, my father being his brother-in-law told us family stories that made us laugh.

Not everybody has a perfect life and mine wasn't perfect and I went through some really hard family times. Bill was guiding light and helped me through some of the darkest hours in my life. He was also always there with friendship laughter and seriously good advice. I'll never forget him. His heart lives on through all of us with his inspiration of giving and thoughtfulness. He also had a great sense of humor. I have known this guy since I was 10 or 12 years old. He left behind an amazing family which I'm glad to have gotten to know over the years. And my condolences go out to all of them especially his wife Bunny (Alice). It's kind of like that Randy Travis song Three wooden crosses.

Despite my intentions, I was unable to attend the service this morning. So many years have passed and so many regrets that the "cousins" connections were lost.
My sincerest sympathy to Bunny and the entire family.

Many fond memories of Bill. Pizza nights at the house(s), weekends at the cabin and his overall love of life. I always tried to make time to see him and Bunny whenever I visited home from Japan. He will be missed. May he rest in peace. My condolences to Bunny, Erin, Kelly and Amy.

Spent many times with Uncle Bill at his cabin in the Pocono Mountains. To this day I tell funny "war" stories about our time there; lucky there where not smart phones to record the antics. My cousins & I could be so bad & Bill was so tolerant. In a way I think he loved the chaos, rarely was he seen not truly enjoying himself. He loved life, family, his business & truly left nothing on the table...a life well lived!

Bill & Bunny "adopted" me as their danish daughter many years ago, and became my second family, also to my husband and son. With his big heart, fantastic humour, love and support, he is simply one of a kind that we will love allways and never forget. The greatest of all time. Our love and prayers to Bunny and the rest of the family.

I didn´t know Bill personally but my father and my brother worked with Bills for decades in the dairy industry. He was a great mentor and friend to both my father and brother. He´s taken a piece of our family with him and I´m grateful for his kindness and support to my family over many many years. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of Bills passing I am happy to have known him. I´ve known Bill since as long as I can remember. Many things come to mind like the cabin by the lake, black and mild cigars, the jeans on the beach, and trips to cape may. Bill employed me at the dairy and always made me feel like one of the family. Thank you Bill for all the great times and your generosity. You will be missed by all, god speed...
