Condolences to the Finch family. Great memories of the holidays and days Bill and the Maloney family shared. He loved by all of us. He was like brother and uncle to the Maloney children. He was never seen in jeans, always khakis ( a known truth among our Jersey City friends). I could go on and on about our times together shared in our Jersey City haunts. Rest in peace my friend you will be greatly missed
